We directly source these high grade, sustainably grown vanilla beans from our partner in Madagascar. A type of orchid originally native to the Yucatán Peninsula, vanilla lives up to the reputation of its more ornamental cousins; finicky and high maintenance, they prefer a tropical environment, and must be carefully hand-pollinated. These gourmet pods from Madagascar have creamy notes of fig, date, chocolate, and oak- perfect for your next baking project or batch of marmalade! 2 pods per Jar Perfect for your Mother's Day Gift display! Great for baking and cookie displays.
