Cultivated in greenhouses requiring special certification, our Tahitian Grand Cru vanilla beans are plump and soft, warm brown in color, and contain twice as many flavor molecules as other varieties. Maturing over a period of about nine months, each bean ripens in its own time, and must be judiciously harvested by hand. The distinctive aroma and rich flavor develop during an elaborate curing process that has been perfected over more than a century. Only traditional, manual, and completely natural preparation process (no scalding nor drying ovens) is used, so it allows greater development of aromatic components properties of the beans. The result is plumper beans with a very strong fragrance and full of seeds. No GMO is used for the whole production. All of our Tahitian vanilla beans are 18+ cm long. Net weight: 500 grams.
