Curio directly sources these high grade, sustainably grown vanilla beans from their 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. Contrary to the “plain vanilla” stereotype, natural vanilla is a deeply complex spice, with over 200 distinct flavor components. These gourmet pods from Madagascar have creamy notes of fig, date, chocolate, and oak- perfect for your next baking project or batch of marmalade!
