Vanilla Labs
Scottish Precision-Cured Vanilla.
The character of vanilla is influenced by everything around it: light, climate, soil, and altitude, the natural rhythm of each vine.
Vanilla Labs is a new way to understand and experience vanilla. Guided by research, shaped by precision and rooted in Scotland.
Now Curing
Uganda, Central Region - Buikwe / Mukono
UG-CEN
A bold, oil-rich vanilla with indulgent, pronounced sweetness and immediate aromatic impact. Grown in the heartland of Uganda, East Africa, at an altitude of 1100-1300m, the equatorial climate and soil qualities (ferralsols and loamy clay) produce vanilla that is high in oil and vanillin, with fast aromatic release.
This central Ugandan vanilla pairs beautifully with dairy fats, cocoa, caramel, rum and bourbon flavours.
Sensory Notes:
Vanilla cream, dark chocolate and molasses, with rich secondary notes of raisin, fig and brown sugar. At its base, warm wood and soft tobacco.
Recommended For:
Ice cream, gelato, chocolate, baking, vanilla extracts.
Within every vanilla pod is a spectrum of over 250 flavour and aroma compounds, each shaping how it smells, tastes and behaves.
Our Scottish Precision Cures guide flavour development along a defined pathway, helping each vanilla batch deepen, balance and unfold naturally.
The measure of modern vanilla.
