KY—UGA, Kayunga Uganda

Grade A Cured Vanilla Pods

KY-UGA is sourced from Kayunga District, north-east of Kampala, where inland growing conditions and reduced lake influence contribute to slower maturation and a more restrained flavour profile.

This expression is poised and luminous, balancing cocoa silk with gentle sweetness. Dried apricot and pale brown sugar lift into delicate clove and finish with clean, airy woods. Elegant and structured, KY-UGA offers a quieter interpretation of Ugandan vanilla.

Storage:

Vanilla pods are naturally rich in aromatic compounds and retain a small amount of moisture. Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve flexibility and flavour. Avoid refrigeration, which may encourage condensation and reduce quality over time. A light crystalline bloom or natural variation in appearance can occur in highly aromatic pods and reflects the concentration of real vanilla.
