Rare and bold, our Pompona vanilla beans from Veracruz offer a deeper, more exotic expression of vanilla. Larger and more robust than traditional Planifolia beans, Pompona delivers a lush aroma with earthy richness, hints of fig, spice, and dried fruit. The flavor is smooth yet powerful—warming, resinous, and slightly smoky—making it a favorite for perfumers, chefs, and makers seeking something extraordinary. Hand-harvested in small quantities, this is vanilla with character, rooted in Mexico’s wild beauty.
