What We Do...
While this field-to-factory reevaluation of vanilla production may seem like a new idea, it comes naturally to us. With a long history of successful partnerships with companies ranging from super-market giants to specialty retailers, we know the importance of providing consistent product performance, as well a outstanding value and support.

Doing business with major corporations, we understand the complexities of product distribution and on-time performance to keep your plant running smoothly. We know how to work with customers to develop vanilla products suited to specific applications, offering the appropriate impact while delivering specific flavor notes. Based in Pennsylvania, our manufacturing processes meet or surpass all applicable government regulations, including those of the Food & Drug Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

To achieve these results, we’ve designed and built a state-of-the-art vanilla processing, packaging and distribution facility. Our highly efficient vanilla extractors, percolators and filters incorporate elaborate measurement equipment to ensure uniformity and high quality. Our 70,000 square-foot warehouse, among the largest in the industry, integrates ready product availability with the ability to package vanilla into virtually anything from l/2-oz. bottles to 55-gallon drums.

But most of all, we strive to deliver superior overall performance based on your assessment of these two key factors:
Does our vanilla taste good in your finished product?
Does our vanilla’s price point save you money?

If we can meet your standards, we believe you’ll give us a chance to be your vanilla supplier. So, whether you’re seeking a vanilla supplier who’ll work with you to solve problems, help with new-product development, provide you with up-to-the-minute information about the vanilla market, or simply help save money, contact us. We’ll give you the information you need to make a good decision.
