Hawaiian Vanilla Company
We are proud to say we were the first commercial growers in the US. But being the first is not always the easiest. Our search to grow the finest quality vanilla in the world has taken me to the birth place of Vanilla, Mexico, into the rain forest of Micronesia, to the impoverish country of Haiti and to the highest technology in Vanilla research at Rutgers University. Our goal is to cultivate the best Vanilla in the world.

Kona Gold Vanilla
It takes approximately four carefully monitored years for our vanilla to develop from seedling to full-flavored, aromatic bean. The plants usually bloom three years after planting, each bloom takes approximately forty-five days to open. The blooms are only open for the morning of a single day during which delicate hand pollination must occur for a bean to develop. The newly pollinated bean takes up to eleven months to mature and ripen. After hand picking and sorting each bean by the size and quality, they are manually cured through an extensive four step process known as bourbon method that takes three to four months to complete. The result of all of this effort is the high quality Kona Gold Vanilla beans we are proud to offer to you.
