The Vanilla Plantation continues this ancient tradition - leading the world in the production of organic vanilla from the cultivation of the plant, to the destilation of the extract for culinary and medicinal uses, and the creation of such final products as cajeta, honey, ice cream, flans, liquors, and others.
