Vanilla Labs wins double honours at North East Scotland Food & Drink Awards

Press Release

June 2026

We are delighted to announce that Vanilla Labs has been recognised with two major accolades at the North East Scotland Food & Drink Awards, receiving both the Best Food Product Award and the Innovative Impact Award.

The awards celebrate excellence across Scotland’s food and drink sector, recognising businesses that are pushing boundaries in quality, innovation and sustainable growth. To receive recognition in both categories is a significant achievement for our team and a powerful endorsement of the work we are doing to redefine how vanilla is grown, cured and supplied.

The Best Food Product Award recognises the exceptional quality, flavour and craftsmanship of our vanilla, while the Innovative Impact Award acknowledges our pioneering approach to cultivation, curing and supply chain development. Together, these awards reflect our commitment to combining scientific innovation with agricultural expertise to produce vanilla of outstanding quality while creating meaningful environmental and economic impact.

These achievements represent important milestones in the Vanilla Labs journey. From the beginning, our ambition has been to challenge conventional thinking around vanilla production, demonstrating that premium vanilla can be cultivated and cured through a model that prioritises sustainability, transparency and innovation without compromising on quality.

As demand for high-quality, responsibly sourced vanilla continues to grow, these awards provide further validation of our vision and the progress we are making. They also strengthen our determination to continue investing in research, cultivation systems and processing methods that deliver exceptional products for chefs, manufacturers and consumers alike.

We would like to thank the award judges, our partners, customers and supporters, and the entire Vanilla Labs team whose dedication and passion have made this recognition possible.

As we continue to grow, we remain focused on advancing our cultivation platform, expanding production capacity and sharing the story behind one of the world’s most remarkable ingredients. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to demonstrate what is possible when innovation and agriculture work hand in hand.

Stay tuned for more updates as we scale our operations, develop new products and continue our mission to transform the future of vanilla.
