What is Grade A Gourmet Vanilla and how is it different from Grade B?

Grade A beans are selected for appearance, moisture content, and strong organoleptic profile and are suitable for direct culinary use or extract production. Grade B beans are drier and often used only for extraction where appearance matters less. Grade A is what manufacturers choose when flavour clarity and visible pod presentation matter. Always pilot at production scale to check thermal stability and perceived flavour loss during pasteurization or freezing.

Can Vanillababa provide COA and traceability for Madagascar vanilla shipments?

Yes. Every shipment can include a COA and batch traceability documents linking the product to farm intake and QA testing. We support requests for organic or fair-trade proof where applicable and provide the supply chain transparency manufacturers require for audits.

What shelf life and storage conditions do Grade A beans and vanilla paste require?

Store Grade A beans cool, dark, and dry in airtight packaging to preserve aroma; beans are best used within typical shelf-life guidance provided on the COA and will vary by packaging. Premium Vanilla Paste should be kept sealed and refrigerated after opening if recommended on the product sheet. These are general guidelines; exact shelf life is shown per batch.

How does pricing and minimum order quantity (MOQ) work for Madagascar Grade A vanilla?

Pricing reflects market conditions and vanillin content; MOQ varies by format. We work with manufacturers to recommend MOQs that balance price stability and supply consistency. Contact Vanillababa to discuss contract options, sample orders, and logistics from Madagascar to your facility. /contact/
