About Us
Exceptional Vanilla, Straight from Madagascar to Your Kitchen
At Vanilla Beans Cy, our focus is on quality, sustainability, and authenticity. We source our premium vanilla beans directly from a trusted organic-certified plantation in Madagascar, where expert farmers hand-cultivate each bean using traditional methods passed down for generations.
Our Story
Our journey began with a deep appreciation for pure, high-quality ingredients — and a mission to bring real vanilla back to the spotlight. That mission led us to Madagascar, the world’s most renowned origin for Bourbon vanilla.
There, we connected with a plantation known for producing Grade A vanilla beans of unmatched quality, grown with care and integrity. The moment we experienced the rich aroma and full-bodied flavour of their beans, we knew this was something special.
What began as a personal discovery quickly turned into a passion to share this rare and exceptional vanilla with others who value real, honest ingredients. Today, every bean we offer reflects the same purity and depth that first inspired us — now sealed and sent from Madagascar to your kitchen.
Our Process
𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘳 — 𝘈 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦
Each vanilla bean takes nearly a year to grow, and every step—from pollination to packing—is done by hand. That’s what gives our vanilla its unmatched aroma, oil content, and deep flavour profile.
🌸 1. Pollinated by Hand
Vanilla orchids bloom just once a year—and each flower stays open for just a single day.
To bear fruit, it must be hand-pollinated within a few hours. This is delicate work, done entirely by skilled farmers.
🌿 2. Harvesting Green Beans
It takes about 8–9 months after pollination for the beans to fully mature.
We harvest only when the beans turn slightly yellow at the tip—indicating peak ripeness and ideal vanillin content.
☀️ 3. Sun-Drying & Curing
After harvest, the beans are briefly blanched, then laid out under the sun for 2–3 hours per day over 3–4 weeks.
At night, they’re wrapped in blankets to sweat. This starts the complex curing process that lasts several months—turning them dark, glossy, and aromatic.
✋ 4. Hand Selection & Packing
Each bean is assessed for moisture, flexibility, and oil content before it's packed.
Only premium-quality beans make it through—moist, plump, and bursting with natural vanillin.
📦 5. Ready to Use — Pure, Powerful, Premium
After sorting, our vanilla beans are packed in airtight, aroma-preserving bags—ready for chefs, bakers, and makers who care about real flavour.
With no additives, no artificial processing, and up to 2.5% vanillin content, our beans are intensely fragrant and rich in essential oils—ideal for both sweet and savoury creations.
Direct from the Source
Our relationship with the plantation goes beyond sourcing; it’s a partnership built on trust and shared values. This close collaboration ensures:
- Authenticity: By working directly with the plantation, we guarantee the origin and quality of every bean.
- Sustainability: The farmers employ environmentally responsible practices to protect the local ecosystem and uphold ethical standards.
