  • Our Vanilla Pods...

    Our long and oily vanilla pods are measured using a ruler, and the measuring is all manually done! All of the vanilla pods that you buy have been through a purely manual process; lots of work has gone into producing the highest quality pods that end up in your kitchen! 

    Did you know that we have lots of types of vanilla pods? All categorised due to size and grade? For example, we have... SUPREME VANILLA PODS!!

  • Did You Know...?

    Vanillabazaar is certified by the Fairtrade Foundation and the Organic Federation in the UK to sell products to these standards. This ensures the full traceability of all these products back to the grower. The organic status ensures that no pesticides were used in the production of these pods and the Fairtrade mark ensures that the growers always get a fair price for growing them. Supreme pods vary in size between 14cm to 20cm and each pod has extra special care taken to look after them to ensure a high level of vanillin and good moisture content. These pods will not disappoint!

  • Vanilla Market

    The price of vanilla is ever-changing, and the vanilla market is currently cooling down after years of exorbitant prices. Unlike several other businesses, who are unfortunately not adhering to a specific code of conduct, we are following and respecting the minimum price guidelines that have been set out by the government; this is despite us still holding a large stock, due to the pandemic!

  • Vanilla – why choose ours?

    There’s a lot of vanilla companies out there... so why should you choose ours? Take a look at some of our recent blog posts! We’ve told you about our love for all things Fairtrade, and why we are a Fairtrade company: “Our organic pods, that we provide on our website, are grown on professional farms, many of which are run by families who specialise in maintaining specific organic standards, while Fairtrade farmers always make sure they take extra care to attract Fairtrade traders." This extra care helps to make sure the vanillin yield per pod is high. Fairtrade, in partnership with Compass Group UK & Ireland and the Co-op, also set up the Women’s School of Leadership to give women the confidence and skills to be able to set up businesses and be leaders in cocoa cooperatives in their local communities. We are also an organic company. Organic food is the product of a farming system which avoids the use of man-made fertilisers, pesticides; growth regulators and livestock feed additives - we take pride in this and we will always stick to these standards to provide you with only the best quality vanilla.

  • What are vanilla orchids?

    Adding exciting content that you might not have seen before, is something that we’re enjoying doing! We’re pulling together our own knowledge, along with that of multiple other sources, to give you a massive run down of lots of different topics! This one, we thought that you may want to know more about, as Vanilla Orchids aren’t common knowledge, and many people don’t actually know where vanilla comes from!

  • Why is vanilla so expensive?

    Why is vanilla so expensive?

    We’re sure that you’re aware that vanilla isn’t the cheapest spice around, and it can sometimes set you back more than you bargained for, but boy, is it worth it! As a company, we really wanted this section of our website (our blog) to highlight some things about vanilla that you may not know, including the history behind it, how it is produced, why we are an organic/fairtrade company, and much more!
