Curating technique

Experience the exquisite taste of Tahitensis vanilla beans from Papua, expertly curated using the renowned French method. Harvested beans are blanched in hot water, immediately cooled in cold water, and then wrapped in cloth to sweat and release moisture in an insulated box.

The sweating process is repeated several times over a few weeks, allowing the beans to develop their unique flavor and aroma while carefully sorting them based on size and quality. This results in the beans' signature plump and oily appearance and a rich, complex flavor profile.

While the French method of curating Tahitensis vanilla beans is a labor-intensive process, it is widely regarded as one of the best methods for producing high-quality beans. Shop with us and taste the difference that expert curation can make in your cooking.
