Where to Buy Vanilla beans from Comoros
When it comes to vanilla there is perhaps one name that is the most famous of all, bourbon vanilla. While this term for vanilla beans once referred solely to vanilla grown on the island of La Rèunion, now it is a name associated with vanilla from Madagascar, Comoros, La Rèunion and many other areas that grow vanilla planifolia.
Vanille noire des Comoros
Black vanilla from Comoros island for baking and pastries. You will not find any better vanilla beans than these beans.This vanilla comes directly from the islands of Comoros which is famous for its lush and fertile volcanic soil. While many consumers may often think bourbon vanilla only comes from Madagascar, Comoros has long been regarded as a superior quality bourbon vanilla.
Grown on a small single estate, this family farm has been growing vanilla for three generations. Slofoodgroup is proud to partner with this family and share Comoran vanilla beans with the world and to our customers. Similar to vanilla from Madagascar, bourbon vanilla is from the species of vanilla planifolia.
Vanilla planifolia is a oblong leafed orchid that produces vanilla pods high in vanillin content. Once cured the beans and a lustrous black to brown in color. The price is traditionally higher than other planifolia varieties due to its overall rarity and quality. Many Europeans regard Comoros vanilla beans as superior to Madagascar vanilla beans. The volcanic soils of Comoros are some of the finest vanilla growing topography in the world.

Comoros beans
Nice and oily beans at a great value
I simply cannot say how much I love the Comoros beans from SFG! Always oily, long, pliable and that aroma of cocoa and marshmallow is so wonderfully intense. SFG has amazing quick shipping and their beans never ever disappoint!
Great service
Good service, fast delivery and personal customer service!
Comoros Beans
This is not the first time ordering these specific beans. They are always so fresh, plump, oily and long! Not to mention prices are great, especially with the sales and shipping is super quick! SFG yet again for the WIN!
Great vanilla bean to try!!
My 3rd time ordering these. I like the earthy, cocoa notes this bean offers. The marshmallow undertone doesn't really come through in an extract. Go whole bean or make your own vanilla paste for the best flavor experience.
