Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gold Category?

A quality classification created by Arnaud Sion to group exclusively his highest grade vanilla beans (+18cm up to 23cm), defined by exceptional width, moisture retention, and high vanillin levels.

Why are pods over 18 cm superior?

Fewer pods on the vine allow each pod to absorb maximum nutrients and essential oils during the crucial final weeks before harvest.

How should I store Gold Category vanilla?

At room temperature in a dark, dry pantry inside an airtight glass or PET container. Never refrigerate, freeze, or submerge in rum.

What packaging formats and prices are available?

Available in 2 beans (€4.84), 5 beans (€12.75), 10 beans (€22.77), 20, 40, or 100 bean pouches, and bulk vacuum pouches in 250g (€60.75), 500g (€102.95), and 1kg.
