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! 💝💃🥳

Known for its larger than average size, Pompona vanilla beans these vanilla are definitely the king of vanilla. A leather like pod gives way to an immense amount of vanilla seeds and higher than average vanillin content.

United StatesIncredible
I've been buying beens from various sites, and I must say that so far, the beans I have gotten from SLOFOODGROUP have been absolutely incredible. They are every bit as premium as any from other sites. My Madgascar Pompona's were the best ever. I'm just so excited not only about the beans, but the fairness in the pricing. Like I said, they are every bit as premium as other sites, and at half the price. That's definitely important when on tight budget.
