Take your baking to the next level! Equagold was founded on sourcing vanilla pods from Papua New Guinea, buying direct from the villagers in the Highlands and supporting their communities. This is where the name Equa-gold was founded. Our vanilla is grown in a narrow band on either side of the equator and is sometimes referred to as “black gold”. So our name simply means Equator Gold. You can now buy these A-Grade pods whole or try our world-class vanilla extracts, pastes, sugars and syrups. All are made in NZ to very discerning standards.
