Vanilla With a Purpose
“Farm-to-table” shouldn’t be a marketing buzzword — it should mean something real. At Dadora Vanilla, it does.
Our vanilla doesn’t travel through anonymous brokers or factory supply chains. It begins as a hand-pollinated orchid in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, and ends in your kitchen — still cared for by the same people who nurtured it from day one.
This is vanilla with a story. Vanilla with transparency. Vanilla grown to uplift the communities behind it.
What Farm-to-Table Means to Us
To call something farm-to-table, you need direct connection and hands-on control. We are involved in:
✅ Growing the orchids in Ecuador’s tropical lowlands
✅ Harvesting and curing beans by hand in the Andean highlands
✅ Small-batch packaging designed to preserve natural oils and aroma
✅ Shipping directly to your door — no middlemen, no shortcuts
We oversee the entire process from orchard to bottle — guaranteeing quality and integrity every step of the way.
Ethical Farming That Protects Families & Flavor
Vanilla farming is often underpaid, unstable work — and that instability drives poor quality and unethical labor practices elsewhere in the world.
We’re doing things differently:
-
Fair, reliable wages for local women and families
-
Safe, greenhouse-grown conditions to improve working comfort
-
Skill development that empowers long-term livelihoods
-
Zero synthetic pesticides or fertilizers — just nature and sun
When you choose Dadora, you’re choosing people-first vanilla.
Why Ecuador Is Setting a New Standard in Vanilla
Ecuador’s location and climate create ideal growing conditions:
-
Tropical heat for sweet, oily beans
-
Rich volcanic soil for deep flavor development
-
High-altitude curing for floral aroma intensity
That’s why our Ecuadorian Vanilla tahitensis tastes complex, fruity, and aromatic — unlike vanilla from mass-producing regions.
Farm-to-table isn’t just about proximity — it’s about terroir, craftsmanship, and respect for the land.
Hand-Cured the Traditional Way
Our beans are cured in small batches using a slow, artisanal process:
-
Sun-drying by hand daily
-
Natural sweating to develop oils and aroma
-
No machines, no artificial drying
This method preserves the bean’s essential oils, purity, and rich character — the foundation of our powder and extracts.
Designed for Home Bakers, Loved by Chefs
Because we control every detail, we can make sure each product reaches you at peak quality:
-
Glossy, plump beans loaded with seeds
-
Rich vanilla powder made from whole beans — not extract scraps
-
Small-batch extract crafted with care, not chemicals
Taste it once and you’ll know: this is real vanilla.
