Historically, vanilla has played a very important role in Indonesian culture

Vanilla has played a significant role in Indonesian culture for centuries. According to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia, vanilla was first introduced in 1819 as part of a garden collection at the Bogor Botanical Garden. By the 1960s, vanilla plantations flourished on the island of Java, leading to the beans’ global recognition as “Java Vanilla Beans.”

Production eventually spread to other parts of Indonesia, including Sumatra, Sulawesi, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, and Papua, starting in 1864. In 2020, vanilla plantations covered an area of 9,291 hectares, with production reaching 1,412 tonnes

Why Indonesia vanilla is so good?

With its consistent flavour, unlike other vanilla, Indonesian vanilla is suitable for cooking at both high and low temperatures. Climate, soil properties and drying methods all contribute to the unique, smoky flavor of Indonesian vanilla. In some regions vanilla is grown in areas rich in volcanic material. These volcanic components make the surrounding soil nutritious for growing crops

Moreover, Indonesia is a tropical country, which means it has sufficient sunlight for the drying process. The result is beans that are slightly less pliable than other Planifolia varieties, yet the strength of the pods produces a rich and strong vanilla caviar, which sustains its unique flavour and aroma qualities.
