Vanilla beans are the fruits of Vanilla (planifolia) Orchid. The curing of green vanilla beans to obtain the well-appreciated heavenly vanilla aroma is a very laborious and time consuming process. Every vanilla cultivating country has its own curing process. But in general it consists four labor intensive steps; scalding, sunning or sweating, drying and conditioning. The whole process takes more than 8 months.
