Premium Vanilla Beans 17+ cm – Uganda Gourmet Grade

Hand-selected Ugandan Gourmet vanilla beans, 17–20 cm long, with a rich chocolate-sweet aroma and high vanillin content above 2%. Soft, oily, and seed-dense — the choice of professional pastry chefs and serious home bakers alike. Each 100 g pack contains approximately 25 pods, harvested January 2026 and traditionally fermented for maximum flavour depth.

Why Ugandan Gourmet Vanilla?

Uganda produces some of the world's most aromatic vanilla, rivalling Madagascar in vanillin content while offering a distinctly bold, woody-sweet profile with notes of chocolate, dried fruit, and floral undertones. Our beans are sourced directly, carefully sorted, and packed to preserve their natural moisture and fragrance — no fillers, no additives.
