I'm a convert

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! 💝💃🥳

Where to Buy Vanilla beans from Comoros

Buy Comoros vanilla beans directly at Slofoodgroup online spice shop. When it comes to vanilla there is perhaps one name that is the most famous of all, bourbon vanilla.  While this term for vanilla beans once referred solely to vanilla grown on the island of La Rèunion, now it is a name associated with vanilla from Madagascar, Comoros, La Rèunion and many other areas that grow vanilla planifolia.

 

Black Vanilla from Comoros (Vanille noire des Comoros)

You will not find any better vanilla beans than these beans.This vanilla comes directly from the islands of Comoros which is famous for its lush and fertile volcanic soil. While many consumers may often think bourbon vanilla comes from Madagascar, Comoros has long been regarded as a superior quality bourbon vanilla that is available in limited quantities annually

How many vanilla beans are in a pound

Grown on a small single estate, this family farm has been growing vanilla for three generations. Slofoodgroup is proud  to partner with this family and share Comoran vanilla beans with the world and to our customers. Similar to vanilla from Madagascar, bourbon vanilla is from the species of vanilla planifolia.

Vanilla planifolia is a oblong leafed orchid that produces vanilla pods high in vanillin content. Once cured the beans and a lustrous black to brown in color. The price is traditionally higher than other planifolia varieties due to its overall rarity and quality.  Many Europeans regard Comoros vanilla beans as superior to Madagascar vanilla beans.  The volcanic soils of Comoros are some of the finest vanilla growing topography in the world.

Smokey, sweet, raison smell to me

These are the plumpest Planifolia I have purchased. The price is fair, delivery very prompt, considering it's free, even better. I love the look of these beans, just the right amount of oil and moisture to my liking. It's a redder bean than I expected for a "Black Bean", and is producing an interesting dark red-caramel color. Aroma is sweeter than most at this point... three weeks along... the alcohol is barely noticeable already. ( a wee giggle)
