About Us
Indonesian Excellence, Sourced at the Origin
Our Story
Our journey begins in the lush, volcanic landscapes of Sulawesi, Indonesia—home to some of the most aromatic and flavorful vanilla in the world. In 2022, Adore Vanilla was founded with a mission to work hand in hand with local farmers, right at the source. With a presence both in the farmers’ villages and in Jakarta, we ensure direct support during cultivation and efficient coordination for export.
As the beans made their way from Sulawesi to the world, a new idea took root in Italy. In 2023, Spice Ship was born. Our goal? To introduce chefs, artisans, and vanilla lovers across Italy and Europe to this remarkable Indonesian vanilla—grown with care, cured with expertise, and delivered with passion.
Together, Adore Vanilla and Spice Ship connect tradition with taste, bridging continents to bring you authentic, high-quality vanilla—sourced at the origin, crafted for excellence.
