Vanilla Beans
Excellent Product! Excellent Service!
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! 💝💃🥳
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!

A Rare Taste of Mayan Guatemala
A Chile with Real History
Cultivated in the Guatemalan highlands since as early as 250 AD, Cobanero chiles are a genuine piece of Mayan culinary heritage.
As Hot as Cayenne, With More Depth
At 30,000-50,000 Scoville Heat Units, the same range as cayenne, these chiles bring genuine mild heat plus fruity, earthy, smoky-tasting complexity cayenne doesn't offer.

Sourced from the same Alta Verapaz region behind our allspice and green cardamom, a genuine reflection of Guatemala's rich spice-growing terrain.
A Genuine Chipotle Alternative
Bring smoky-tasting depth to a dish without needing actual smoke, a great substitute for chipotle in any recipe.

Details About These Particular Cobanero Chiles
How Are Whole Coban Chili Peppers Used in Cooking?
Meticulously harvested and preserved with quality and authenticity in mind, our whole Coban chili peppers are:
- Sourced from the fertile highlands of Cobán, Guatemala, in the Alta Verapaz region, also home to our allspice and green cardamom
- Dried to perfection to preserve their rich flavor and aroma
- Certified Kosher
- Smoky-tasting, fruity, and spicy, with heat levels of roughly 30,000-50,000 Scoville Heat Units, similar to cayenne
- Ideal for grinding, rehydrating, or steeping
Whole Coban chilies can add depth and complexity to a multitude of dishes. Start by opening the package, breathing in the scent of these chiles, and allowing the culinary inspiration to flow. Rehydrate them in warm water to blend into salsas and mole sauces, or toast them lightly to enhance their smoky-tasting aroma before grinding into spice rubs or seasoning blends alongside allspice or cumin. Their bold, medium-high heat pairs well with beans, stews, or grilled meats and is also perfect for adding a kick to cocktails, blending into a garlicky chile oil, or even sprinkling on fruit. Prefer a milder, smokier alternative? Try our Aleppo pepper instead. Get inspired by Coban chiles, try your hand at some traditional Guatemalan dishes like Kak'ik, a delicious turkey leg stew featuring Coban chiles as a star attraction.
