Storage Tips for Optimal Freshness

To preserve the quality and aroma of your vanilla, follow these simple steps:

1. Vacuum-Packed: Your vanilla is delivered vacuum-packed to ensure its freshness. This method prevents oxidation and preserves the essential oils that give vanilla its unique aroma.
2. Wrap in Parchment Paper: Once opened, gently wrap your vanilla beans in parchment paper. This type of paper is ideal for absorbing excess moisture while allowing the vanilla to "breathe."
3. Storing in a Glass Tube: Next, place your wrapped pods in a glass tube. Not only does this method provide protection from light and moisture, but it also allows for optimal visual observation of your precious pods.

By following these tips, you will ensure optimal preservation of your vanilla, allowing it to retain all of its aromatic richness and superior quality for prolonged use.

Advanced Tips for Storing Vanilla

To best preserve the freshness and quality of your vanilla, here are some additional recommendations:

1. Ideal Temperature: Store vanilla in a cool, but not cold, place. The ideal temperature is between 15 and 20°C. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as the cold can dry out the pods.
2. Avoid Direct Light: Light, especially direct sunlight, can degrade the quality of vanilla. Store in a dark place or away from direct light.
3. Controlled Humidity: Vanilla must be stored in an environment with controlled humidity. Too much humidity can lead to mold growth, while too dry an environment can dry out the beans.
4. Aeration: Although the vanilla is stored in a glass tube, it is important to allow some air circulation. Open the container periodically to ventilate the pods.
5. Regular Check: Regularly inspect your vanilla beans for any signs of mold or drying out. Healthy beans should be supple and slightly oily to the touch.
6. Shelf Life: Properly stored vanilla can last for several years. However, it is generally at its peak flavor within a year of purchase.
7. Reusing Pods: After using a vanilla pod, you can wash it, dry it, and reuse it. For example, place it in a jar of sugar to create vanilla sugar.

By following these tips, you will maximize the lifespan and quality of your vanilla, ensuring that each use is as aromatic and flavorful as possible.

Vanilla prices can vary and fluctuate from harvest to harvest for several reasons:

1. Supply and demand: As with any commodity, fluctuations in supply and demand can influence vanilla prices. For example, a poor harvest due to adverse weather conditions can reduce the supply of vanilla on the market, leading to higher prices.

2. Climatic conditions: Vanilla is a climate-sensitive crop. Factors such as temperature, rainfall, and seasonal cycles can affect the growth and quality of vanilla beans. Abnormal weather conditions, such as tropical cyclones, droughts, or floods, can lead to crop losses and thus influence prices.

3. Changing farming practices: Farming practices used to cultivate vanilla, such as growing methods, harvesting, and processing techniques, can vary from region to region. Changes in these practices can affect the quality and quantity of vanilla produced, which in turn can affect prices.

4. Speculation and Investment: As with many commodities, the vanilla market can also be influenced by speculation and investment. Market participants, including speculators and investors, may buy and sell vanilla futures contracts, which can cause price fluctuations independent of actual supply and demand conditions.

5. Government Policies: Government policies such as export regulations, taxes, and subsidies can also play a role in determining vanilla prices. Restrictive or favorable policies can impact the availability of vanilla in the market and influence prices.

Overall, vanilla prices are subject to a variety of economic, environmental, and social factors that can lead to significant fluctuations in the market.

Natural Variability: Each vanilla bean reflects its uniqueness - variations in size and appearance testifying to the authenticity and quality of our traditional harvest.

Special Packaging : Our vanilla pods and vanilla powder (100g) are carefully vacuum packed to ensure maximum freshness upon arrival.
