Flavor Profile: Steam Cured with the Traditional Bourbon Curing method produces a Heavenly vanilla aroma with rich, creamy undertones that will undoubtedly please the palate.
Introducing our USDA Certified Organic Grade A Madagascar Vanilla Beans, the gold standard of vanilla, sourced from the lush and fertile region of Madagascar, an island paradise renowned for its exceptional climate and unique biodiversity. These exquisite beans are hand-selected for their superior quality, tantalizing flavor profile, and enchanting aroma, making them the ultimate choice for discerning chefs and passionate home cooks alike. Upon opening the package, you'll be greeted by the unmistakable, rich aroma of our Madagascar Vanilla Beans, characterized by their deep, creamy sweetness and delicate hints of butter. This captivating fragrance sets the stage for the unparalleled flavor experience that awaits.
Vanilla beans originated in Mexico and are sun cured for months using the traditional drying method. They are now found all over the world from places like Madagascar to Indonesia to Papa New Guinea PNG farms. Gourmet Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans are the highest quality beans in the world and have an incredible flavor profile. The scent consists of a heavenly buttery aroma with a rich, black or dark brown color and an oily outside surface. The interior of the bean is where the magic is at and consists of millions of black, tiny vanilla seeds that are waiting to be scraped out.
Our beans are traditionally cured using the Bourbon curing method to develop the full, complex vanilla flavor made of over 200 organic compounds that artificial vanilla (Natural Vanilla Flavor WONF) cannot properly replicate. The entire process takes anywhere from 6 to 9 months after pollination and our farmers in the SAVA region have turned vanilla processing and curing into a true art. This region remains the industry quality benchmark for producing planifolia (the species of vanilla found in Madagascar) vanilla with high vanillin content.
Our grade A vanilla beans are ~5 - 6 inches in length and are handpicked to ensure proper qualities. There are so many recipes that can be created with these magical beans! They are perfect for making homemade vanilla extract or KAHLUA, home cooking or baking, desserts such as vanilla bean ice cream, cake, cupcakes, or cookies and are a top choice of professional chefs for making desserts such as Creme Brulee. Our beans are also a top pick for home brewers or those who own a brewery! Homemade KAHLUA or Vanilla extract is also a very popular gift and can be made using a simple vodka infusion method! Bonus points for using the spent vanilla beans after the extract making process for creating vanilla sugar!
You can also follow these instructions to learn how to open, split, and scrape a whole vanilla bean!
Our beans are triple inspected throughout the beans journey from Madagascar to the United States. First, they are inspected by our farmers who have hundreds of years of wisdom and experience growing these gourmet pods. The second inspection is before bulk vacuum sealing for transport and to ensure no mold has developed. The final inspection is done at our warehouse moments before packing your shipment. We check the smell, quality, and appearance if any mold has developed a final time. Once all of these are checked, we vacuum seal our vanilla beans in our beautiful custom industrial vacuum pouch to a tight 28 HG vacuum.

If you can manage only one type of bean and only one time, the A+ beans from Madagascar is the way to go. Beautifully plump and deliciously aromatic, these beans fill the bill. I always go for the 1 oz. beans to 8 oz 80 to 90 proof mid price vodka, infused for a year, but if you want to stretch as much as you can then 0.9 oz beans to 8 oz vodka is what is recommended. I have been fortunate enough to be able to buy 16 oz at a time so I get them at the best price. Get in on the co-op buy. You can't go wrong. Vanilla extracting is fun and makes exceptional and thoughtful gifts.
I was amazed when my order arrived!! The fragrance of the beans was the best vanilla smell ever! Vanilla is my go-to when deciding about food. Preparing was easy and I am so excited for the end result.
I purchased Madagascar Grade A for my first batch, making vanilla for next years Christmas gifts. The beans were plump and split easily. Within a week my clear rum was getting darker. I’m excited to see the outcome and taste the difference.
This is the 2nd batch I have ordered. Was so pleased.with the outcome of the paste and I have at least another month to go to do a taste test on the extract! Looking for my next batch!
The last co-op order once again are FANTASTIC!
Started my own vanilla extract with vodka, rum, and bourbon. I am looking forward to trying all 3 next year when the extract is done. The beans smelled so good when I pulled them out of the package. Great product at a great price! Thank you.
Very happy with my vanilla beans. Started my vanilla extract for next Christmas!
My second order of Madagascar grade A vanilla beans to make vanilla extract. These were very nice looking beans just like the first order. Super plump, full of vanilla seeds and smelled great. Forgot to take a picture before I put them in.
I am so thrilled with these beans! They were so moist and smell amazing! I have sugar started, vanilla extract started vodka and rum.
Thank you for offering us such a great product.
I just bought my first bunch of Vanilla beans, and they were amazing! The quality of the beans is excellent! I plan on buying more very soon!
I am so excited to be able to make my own vanilla. I have been following people online and it will work out much cheaper when it is ready.
My first journey into making extract.
Had a issue with shipping at first but I emailed them and within a hour they resent my another order
I was so super impressed with their service that I ordered more before the 1st order arrived.
Beans were beautiful and fresh I have now made 2 extracts , 1 with rum and 1 with vodka.
There online directions are great. I keep referring back to them !
Nice flavor and aroma. Just started getting into vanilla beans. They do not disappoint.
The quality of the beans and ease of actually making the extract combine to make this a ‘why didn’t I do this sooner’ thing.
I’m a little sorry I didn’t buy more beans but I guess that just means I’ll need to add more in the future.
I have ordered three times from this company. The beans are excellent--very fresh and plump. I only use Vanilla Bean Kings for making my homemade vanilla extract!
I made my first purchase through vanilla bean kings and I have nothing negative to say! The cost is excellent and the quality and packaging as well! I purchased the 10 bean pack plus the 8oz glass jar and it was cheaper and fresher than purchasing 2 beans at my local grocery store. I’ve made vanilla syrup and am currently prepping vanilla extract! Will be continuing to order for all of my future vanilla needs! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing beans!! the Madagascar Vanilla Bean Kings beans are some of the best quality beans I’ve used. I use them for extract making and they are excellent! I love the deep color and flavor these beans have! I’d recommend them to anyone that wants a good quality bean.
Have not used it yet. Will update.
I bought my first order and made two bottles of homemade vanilla flavoring. And I cannot wait to use those that smell and taste so good right now but it’s only been three weeks. I will order more from this company, which is the Vanilla Bean King their beans are big easy to slice easy to get to vanilla Bean seeds. I’m looking to experiment with other recipes using the fresh vanilla beans. I will be ordering again soon. I highly recommend Vanilla Bean King. I keep my newly made Vanilla Bean King flavoring in a dark cool cabinet.
This is the second time I have tried purchasing vanilla beans made by vanilla bean kings. I bought them from Amazon originally, but that order had an issue and I thought the plastic smell on the beans was from damage. I returned them through Amazon and purchased directly from the company website only to be met with the same nose hair singeing smell of burned plastic. It seems like it’s because of the thin plastic packaging the beans are vaccume sealed in. This will have been 20 vanilla beans I’ve had to throw away and about 30 dollars. I would love a refund on what I spent.
Hi Jordin,
I'm sorry to hear about this. Aroma is a very objective sense, and sometimes folks will smell more of the earthy, floral, cacao, etc. undertones than the outright vanilla flavors. This isn't uncommon, and doesn't indicate any flaws in the vanilla beans - just differences in what people are able to smell! We recommend letting the vanilla beans air out for a few hours, as being vacuum sealed in the BPA-free plastic packaging may change what you're able to smell.
If you'd like to reach out to us directly and send a photo of the lot number/best by date, I can check our records to guarantee that the vanilla beans you received are our freshest inventory!
I made vanilla extract as gifts for my 2 daughters and daughter in law 2 years ago. The vanilla beans I used then were dry and tough. I was NOT happy. The beans from your company are soft, fragrant and bursting with vanilla. I'll only order from you going forward. Thanks for such a wonderful product.
