Vanilla stick

Vanilla stick is the fruit of a wild orchid of the same name (Vanilla), which can reach a height of up to 15 meters. The main species harvested is Vanilla planifolia, although others such as Vanilla pompona are also used.

This orchid has yellowish flowers that give rise to a fruit similar to green beans, the vanilla pods, which are harvested when they are green. Over time these pods turn brown, their skin wrinkles and the mild aroma and flavor that characterizes them begins to appear.

Vanilla is one of the most appreciated and valued spices in the world for its complex, warm and enveloping aromatic profile. Its cultivation process, manual harvesting and traditional curing give it a unique sensory quality, making this raw material an essential ingredient in the formulation of premium products.
