Luna Vanilla Australia

Luna Vanilla Australia Australian importer of organic gourmet vanilla from the Comoros islands

Every now and then, you find one that makes you stop sorting 🤎

This beauty came out of our newly arrived 2026 crop from the Comoros Islands - measuring over 20cm long and beautifully plump.

One of the things we love about working with a natural ingredient is that no two vanilla beans are exactly alike. They’re grown, hand-pollinated, harvested and cured individually, and every crop brings its own variations in length, shape and character.

We’re currently working our way through the new arrival, sorting and grading each bean before it makes its way into your Luna orders.

And yes… this one might be a little difficult to part with 🌙

Ever opened your Luna Vanilla and noticed a little hit of alcohol first? There’s a reason for that.

Ethanol has long been used in vanilla extraction because it is particularly effective at drawing out and carrying the complex aromatic compounds found within the vanilla bean.

Our paste is a little different from many supermarket vanilla pastes. We don’t add sugar or corn syrup, so there isn’t a heavily sweetened base masking that initial aroma.

When a jar has been sealed, you may notice the ethanol vapour in the headspace when you first open it. Give your paste a stir and a moment to breathe — much like opening a good w**e — and you’ll begin to notice the rich, complex vanilla beneath it.

In baking and cooking, ethanol is highly volatile and much of it dissipates with heat, leaving those beautiful vanilla aromatics behind.

And because we’d rather show you than hide it… just look at those seeds. 🤎

Real Comoros Bourbon vanilla. Double-strength. No added sugar. Crafted in Melbourne.

Just the sound of real vanilla beans hitting the table.
Real ingredients matter to us. The smell, the flavour, the tiny black specks through everything we make.
Big thanks to our freind at .au

There’s more behind our vanilla than beautiful flavour. 🤎

Our vanilla comes from the Comoros Islands 🇰🇲, where growing and curing vanilla is a tradition built over generations.

With my French-Comorian roots, Luna has a personal connection to the country and its people. It’s why how we source matters to us — supporting growers, paying a fair price for their work, and building something that celebrates the incredible vanilla they produce.

From the farms of the Comoros to our small-batch vanilla paste and extract made here in Australia. 🇰🇲 → 🇦🇺

That’s the story behind Luna. 🤎

Sometimes it’s the simplest recipes that let quality ingredients shine.

Those tiny white crystals on vanilla beans aren’t mould.

They’re natural vanillin crystals — a sign of carefully cured vanilla beans with naturally high vanillin content.

Vanilla is one of the most labour-intensive ingredients in the world. Every orchid is hand-pollinated, and every bean is slowly cured over months to develop its aroma, depth and flavour.

In some premium beans, especially well-cured Bourbon vanilla varieties, the natural vanillin can begin to crystallise on the surface over time.

Rare, aromatic and deeply flavourful.

It’s one of the reasons good vanilla performs so differently in baking, desserts and extract making.

Our extract-grade Comoros vanilla beans are now available online in 12 bean, 100g and 1kg packs.

We don’t tend to say too much about our products.

Instead, we pay attention to what people notice when they start using them.

It’s often the same things —
the aroma, the strength, the way it changes the result.

A small difference — but one you notice quickly.
