Vanilla has no true essential oil — the bean cannot be steam distilled. What the trade calls vanilla oil is an oleoresin: cured beans are solvent-extracted and the solvent is then removed, leaving a thick, heat-stable concentrate (FEMA 3106, CAS 84650-63-5). Vanilla extract is the alcohol version — single fold means 100 g of beans per litre at a minimum of 35% ethanol. Cakglo supplies extract-grade beans and oleoresin from the same Java and Bali lots.
Measured across the Indonesian national grading classes, gourmet class 1A averages 3.50% vanillin, class 1B 2.72% and class 2 1.94%. The released Indonesian cultivars sit in the same band — Vania 1 at 2.81–3.25% and Vania 2 at 2.98–3.16% — while Bali-grown beans typically test 2.25–2.50%. Every Cakglo lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis stating its measured figure.

For bakeries, chocolate makers and ice cream manufacturers, Planifolia is the working choice: it carries the highest vanillin (Indonesian Grade A measures 3.0–3.5% w/w), giving the creamy, classic vanilla profile and visible bean specks that survive baking and freezing. Tahitensis is floral, fruity and lower in vanillin (1.5–2.0%), which suits perfumery and fine pastry where aroma matters more than heat stability.
Indonesian Planifolia is chemically in the same class as Madagascar Bourbon vanilla — Grade A measures 3.0–3.5% vanillin against a typical 1.6–2.4% for the beans most European spot traders offer — but it usually lands cheaper because Cakglo buys at farmgate level in Java and Bali instead of through layered intermediaries. The trade-off is that Indonesian vanilla is less famous, so buyers should request a Certificate of Analysis and a sample rather than rely on origin reputation.

Origin comparison
Most of the world's vanilla comes from one island — which is exactly why professional buyers compare origins. The practical differences for wholesale purchasing:
| Criterion | Indonesia — Java & Bali (Cakglo) | Madagascar (Bourbon) |
|---|---|---|
| Species | Vanilla planifolia and Tahitensis | Vanilla planifolia (Bourbon) |
| Flavour profile | Creamy-sweet with cocoa and woody notes | Classic buttery, creamy-sweet |
| Vanillin, Grade A | 3.0–3.5% | typically 1.6–2.4% |
| Moisture, gourmet grade | 25–35% | 30–35% |
| Share of world supply | Smaller origin, diversified smallholder farms | Around 80% of global supply |
| Price behaviour | Comparatively stable | Cyclone-exposed; history of sharp spikes |
| Fresh availability | We offer 30–50 kg of freshly cured Grade A gourmet vanilla beans each month, subject to stock. Sample dispatch: at least 72 hours | Not offered by Cakglo |
| Export certification | HACCP-certified | Varies by exporter |
