VANILLA

Although the most famous vanilla is made from beans grown in Madagascar, many aficionados believe that Ugandan beans will outshine all other beans. The soil and climate of Uganda provide an environment that results in a bold and earthy vanilla taste with hints of figs and raisons, accentuated only by the vanilla bean's natural rich and buttery softer vanilla notes. Ugandan vanilla beans typically contain a higher-than-average vanillin content.

Uganda vanilla pods are characterized by a dark brown color with copper highlights and a broad, flattened shape. The aromas of cocoa and caramel are very present in these pods with intense woody notes which makes them essential in shellfish recipes, white meats as well as desserts.

Planifolia vanilla pods from Uganda are large and generous pods and come from the same species of vanilla as vanilla from Madagascar.

The humid and hot climate is very favorable and the shady and green hills are home to the most beautiful vanilla plantations. This region also has the particularity of offering two harvests of vanilla per year, which is unique in the world.
