Born out of my family's love of fine and delicious organic food, Jilli Vanilli has become the missing ingredient for all the beautiful and flavorful organic foods available in Southern California. After transplanting to Santa Barbara from the East Coast, we decided that we should complement our new healthy lifestyle with an organic diet. We enjoy salad from our garden and beautiful fruits and vegetables from the local farmers market. We patronize all of our local food makers, of which there are many. Organic vanilla was a hard find. Quality, pure, flavorful vanilla, even harder.

 

My biggest challenge was finding the right, high-quality ingredients. After travelling the world virtually, I sourced an artisanal alcohol for the extract: Cutler's Distillery in Santa Barbara's own Funk Zone, that is locally distilled and perfectly pure. The vanilla beans are premium grade organic, fair-trade beans from Uganda. 

 

I am proud to be a small business owner in Santa Barbara and look forward to sharing my vanilla with the rest of the world. You won't find this much attention and love put into any products anywhere.

 Taste the experience for yourself!
