Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans

Product Details

Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans are grown on the island of Madagascar, one of the Bourbon Islands off the southeastern coast of Africa. It takes a minimum of 3 years to grow vanilla beans which are then hand-harvested and sun cured to create a sweet, richly aromatic fragrance and smooth, buttery, creamy vanilla flavor.
