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! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.
Slo Food group team takes great care of their customers. Received a broken bottle of Vanilla and it was immediately handled. Received my replacement bottle within 3 days.
This extract is used to make our Tahitian Vanilla Cakes!
Great place to get your spices
SLO Food group is the best place I have found to buy my vanilla beans, great customer service, fast shipping and very competitive prices. Thank you for helping me with my project, Vanilla extract. Thank you don young

Buying rare Costa Rican vanilla Beans made easy with Slofoodgroup
Long, supple, glossy, and notes of chocolate, raisin, dates and more these Pompona vanilla beans are sure to please. Three to four times the average size of most planifolia vanilla, Pompona is by far the largest player on the team. These vanilla beans, while quite rare and elusive, are not for everyone. Some people like just plain vanilla and that is fine by us but we support diversity. If you are looking for some vanilla beans besides what's on the shelfs of your local grocery stores, give these vanilla beans a try.
What is Pompona vanilla?
Pompona vanilla is actually the first type of vanilla ever documented by western explorers found in mostly Mexico at the time. Now it can be found in remote parts of South America such as Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and even Florida. It has been grown commercially but died off years ago in favor of vanilla planifolia commonly from Madagascar as planifolia give better yields in plantation system. Pompona vanilla can be used in baked goods, vanilla extracts, perfumery and medicinal concoctions. If you are looking to try something new, give these all natural, ethically sourced vanilla gems a try. We guarantee you will love just as much as we do.

United StatesI love your vanilla beans.
Amazing. There is nothing else I could ask for in the world.
United StatesJust Fantastic
Just as described . Great service and product
United StatesNot as big as I was expecting
I was a little underwhelmed with this one. For a Pompona, they weren’t very big at all. Still, it looks and smells of vanilla so I’m satisfied with the quality, but I was a bit disappointed with the size. I’ve purchased the Madagascar Pompona beans on TikTok shop (from what I read that’s a hybrid of plainifolia and Pompona) and even those were significantly larger than these.
United States United StatesI Can Not Wait!!
These beans are fantastic! They are extracting so nicely, and my double fold already looks like thick syrup after only a month. I can not wait to make some delightful desserts. Thank you for such a great product!
