The excellent quality and best flavor of vanilla beans are mostly obtained through traditional methods, which involve a high frequency of hand-processing, from the hand-pollination step to the curing process. Additionally, the long cycles of vanilla bean cultivation (around 8-9 months) play an important role in its high price as well. Essence Food & Beverage, LLC is committed to shortening the supply chain from Indonesia to the US, offering businesses an opportunity to buy vanilla beans at the lowest market price.
