Vanilla Powder, Extract — Essence of Africa

3× More Concentrated

From Bean to Bottle

The Whole Bean,Reimagined

Our vanilla powder, and extract are not substitutes for real vanilla — they are real vanilla, transformed. Every gram starts life as a whole Ugandan vanilla bean, harvested from our network of trained smallholder farmers and processed in our Kampala facility without artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives.

Where whole beans require preparation time and careful storage, our processed forms deliver immediate, consistent vanilla intensity — making them the choice of professional pastry chefs, food manufacturers, beverage companies, and artisan producers worldwide.

"One teaspoon of our vanilla powder equals roughly one whole Grade B bean — the same extraordinary Ugandan depth, ready in seconds."

All three products draw on Uganda's uniquely high-vanillin beans — delivering the rich chocolate, earthy, and caramel notes that make our origin so sought-after by discerning buyers across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Vanilla Powder

Our vanilla powder is made from 100% dried Ugandan vanilla beans — nothing removed, nothing added. The entire bean, including seeds and pod, is ground to a fine, fragrant powder that delivers the full flavour spectrum: vanillin, heliotropin, anisaldehyde, and all the aromatic compounds that make Ugandan vanilla so distinctive.

Unlike extract, vanilla powder is alcohol-free and heat-stable — ideal for applications where liquid addition is undesirable or where the product is baked at high temperatures. A deep, intense aroma with the characteristic chocolate and earthy notes of East African terroir.

Vanilla Extract

Our pure vanilla extract is produced by cold-macerating Grade B Ugandan vanilla beans in food-grade ethanol — drawing out the full soluble flavour compounds into a concentrated, liquid form. Available in single-fold (standard) and double-fold (2× concentrate) strengths.

The result is a deeply aromatic, amber-coloured extract that blends seamlessly into batters, creams, beverages, and icings. No artificial vanillin, no colouring agents, no sweeteners — just the pure essence of Uganda's finest beans in every drop.

Production Process

How Each Product is Made

Bean Selection

We select Grade B extraction-grade Ugandan vanilla beans — drier with higher concentrated vanillin per gram, making them the ideal raw material for a dense, intensely aromatic powder.

Low-Temperature Drying

Beans are further dried to ≤5% moisture at low temperature to prevent degradation of volatile aromatic compounds — the compounds responsible for the characteristic Ugandan vanilla profile.

Cryogenic Grinding

The dried beans — pod and seeds together — are ground using a cryogenic (cold) milling process. Cold temperatures prevent heat-induced flavour loss and produce a finer, more aromatic powder than conventional grinding.

Sieving & Grading

Ground powder is sieved to your specified particle size — fine (for beverages and coatings) or medium (for baking applications). Consistent particle size ensures even distribution in your product.

Nitrogen-Flush Packaging

Powder is packed in nitrogen-flushed, airtight containers to prevent oxidation and lock in aromatic compounds. Every unit carries a batch number, production date, and full CoA documentation.

Bean Input

~6–8g beans per 1g powder

Grinding Temp

Moisture Target

Alcohol-Free

Heat Stability

Shelf Life

24 months sealed

Bean Preparation

Grade B Ugandan vanilla beans are split lengthwise to expose the maximum surface area of seeds and inner pod tissue — maximising the extraction of soluble flavour compounds into the alcohol medium.

Cold Maceration

Split beans are submerged in food-grade ethanol-water solution (35–40% ABV) and left to macerate at cool temperature for a minimum of 30 days. Cold maceration preserves delicate aromatic compounds that heat-extraction would destroy.

Agitation & Monitoring

The maceration vessel is gently agitated throughout the extraction period and monitored weekly for vanillin concentration, colour development, and aromatic profile to ensure consistent quality batch to batch.

Filtration

After maceration, the extract is filtered through food-safe membranes to remove bean particulates, producing a clear, deep amber extract. Double-fold orders undergo a second-pass concentration step.

Bottling & QC

Final extract is tested for vanillin content, alcohol percentage, and absence of synthetic additives before bottling in amber glass or bulk containers. Every batch receives a full CoA.
