Vanilla OrchidVanilla Planifolia and Tahitensis are primarily grown 20 degrees north and south of the equator, and the delicate flowers open only one time per year. |
Hand PollinationUpon flowering, the vanilla orchids must be hand pollinated. |
Green BeansAfter pollination, green vanilla beans will grow, and must be left on the vine for up to 9 months to ensure the highest quality. |
CuringBeans are hand picked, blanched and go through the curing process, creating the dark and fragrant vanilla beans most are familiar with. |
