Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans are very distinct, with a flavor and aroma profile unlike any other vanilla bean. Madagascar vanilla beans are processed using the "Bourbon" curing method. This technique typically produces vanilla beans with higher moisture content. Our gourmet vanilla beans have a moisture content of roughly 33%. You'll notice that there are no breaks or splits within the vanilla beans; another indication of extremely high quality. The Beanilla Trading Company works directly with vanilla growers around the world. We carefully select and import our vanilla to ensure that it is the absolute best quality possible. This job is not easy the result is incredible. We hope you enjoy.
