From a small farm in the Caribbean nation of The Dominican Republic, we are pleased to introduce you to a rare vanilla bean with exquisite taste. The Dominican Republic is located roughly 18 degrees above the equator, while central Madagascar is 18 degrees below the equator and, perhaps, for that reason this beautiful bean boasts a buttery creaminess that is only reminiscent of Madagascar vanilla, but with mocha undertones that evoke thoughts of rich dominican coffee.
Here is a picture of our samples so you can see how beautiful, plump and oily these vanilla beans are with lengths between 6" and 9":
We named this vanilla bean La Romana nanmed after one of the many beautiful cities in The Dominican Republic that is pictured here:

VanillaPura vanilla beans are all shipped vacuum sealed for freshness and should be stored unrefrigerated in a cool, dry and dark place.
On average, there are 4-7 beans/oz depending on each harvest, which is why we sell by weight and not by bean count. Pricing reflects current market conditions and will be updated as market prices change.
