Artisan vanilla grown by smallholder farmers around the world.
Pure Vanilla Extract, what we do best.
Vanilla is anything but ordinary.
Vanilla farmers are traditionally known for being easy to exploit - and we're here to change that. We work alongside our partner farmers through all stages of the vanilla process, from planting to harvesting, curing to extraction.
Deep, bold, rich... these are characteristics you'll taste in our pure artisan vanilla.

By the numbers...
600 vanilla orchids must be hand-pollinated in order to create 6 kilograms of green, unprocessed vanilla beans.
Those 6 kilograms (13.2 pounds) of green vanilla beans will produce 1 kilogram of dried, black, "export-ready" vanilla.
Vanilla is the world's most complex spice, boasting over 400 individual flavor components in a single bean.
The global vanilla market is worth $580 million as of 2020, and is expected to grow by 4.7% until 2026.
Our Approach
We're here to put money, equity, and dignity into the hands of the people who grow our food. We build new supply-chains from farms that have never exported before. Ineffective supply-chains have created cycles of poverty that can only be solved through direct-trade relationships and fair business practices.
If we want to enjoy great vanilla and spices for years to come, it's time we invest in the people and communities who cultivate them.
What makes us unique?
Direct-Trade
Smallholder farmers are the backbone of our global food supply, and we believe it's time to begin investing in them. The two most important segments of the supply-chain are the farmer and the consumer, and by bridging the gap between the two, products are both fresher and more economical.
Global Reach
From the Northern peninsula of Sulawesi, to the mountains of Vietnam, to the jungles of West India, we travel far and deep to source our raw ingredients. Our products are manufactured and distributed in the United States, and we have plans to launch a launch a manufacturing center in Indonesia in 2021.
Diversification
Our partner farmers work tirelessly to maintain superior quality in their crops. We believe in bringing those fundamental values into our manufacture. We produce dozens of different vanillas, extracts, and flavorings for a variety of applications, from ice creams and chocolates to beverages and perfumes.
Where Artisanship Meets Science
We believe that fine vanilla is composed of much more than simply a high vanillin content. We take into account all flavor substances and work to create entire flavor profiles. Our manufacturing process involves a cold-extraction method takes weeks instead of days, because we're focused on preservation of micro-substances such as p-hydroxy benzaldehyde and vanillic acid, rather than just vanillin.
