I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

Comoros vanilla beans are derived from Vanilla planifolia, an oblong-leafed orchid renowned for producing pods with exceptionally high vanillin content. Grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of the Comorian islands, these beans develop a complex and intensely aromatic profile. During curing, the pods transform from dull yellow green to a rich, lustrous black-brown color as they transform from raw material to useable vanilla beans.The process takes a minium of 90 to 120 days to fully develop.
Due to their rarity, limited production, and consistently high quality, Comoros vanilla beans traditionally command a higher price than most other Vanilla planifolia varieties.
