Our Process
Revealing vanilla’s richest aroma
Every stage is carefully managed to ensure the highest quality.
Cultivation
The vanilla plants are grown in diversified agroforestry systems alongside fruit and timber trees and nourished with locally produced biofertilizers, free from any type of chemicals.
Hand Pollination
About three years after planting, the vanilla orchids start to flower. Each vanilla flower blooms for just one day and is hand-pollinated at dawn to ensure it develops into a high-quality vanilla bean.
Harvest
Mature green vanilla beans are harvested nine months after pollination and are transported to the curing center for processing.
Controlled Curing
The collected beans are cured over a period of 3-4 months, involving a controlled process of killing, sweating, drying, and conditioning to develop their complex aroma.
