Vanilla Beans – Gourmet Grade A (12–15 cm)
Salimpex Uganda – Gourmet Grade A (12–15 cm)
The same exceptional Ugandan Gourmet Grade A quality — hand-selected, traditionally fermented, and rich in vanillin — in a shorter pod format. At 12–15 cm, these beans are slightly more compact but lose nothing in aroma or flavour intensity. A versatile choice for everyday baking, extract-making, and infusions where pod length is not a priority.
