— What people say
  • The aroma hit me before I even opened the pouch. These vanilla beans are extraordinary!

    Catherine L., Montréal

  • I've never tasted peppercorns like this — Josie, you've got a lifelong customer!

    Daniel F., Toronto

  • Loved the fast shipping and eco-friendly packaging. The vacuum seal really keeps them fresh. I'll be back for more!

    Marc L., Montréal

  • Absolutely the best vanilla and spices we've ever used! Josie's Grade A Bourbon vanilla beans are insanely fresh — plump, aromatic, and packed with flavour. The Ceylon cinnamon sticks and wild black peppercorns are equally top-notch. I recently tried the white pepper and Combava powder — both are rare and full of character. You can taste the care in every product. Fast delivery, cute packaging, and amazing customer service. A gem of a business! Thank you Josie ❤️

Our process

From the farmers, straight to your door.

We don't blend mystery beans, age them in a warehouse, or hide behind “natural flavour.” Here's how every spice on the site gets from the people who grow it to your kitchen.

  1. 01

    Sourced direct

    Bought straight from family farms — never through brokers, auction houses, or commodity middlemen.

  2. 02

    Hand-harvested

    Every pod, quill, and peppercorn is hand-picked at peak ripeness — the slow, labour-intensive way.

  3. 03

    Sealed at source

    Within days of curing, each batch is vacuum-sealed at the farm so the oils don't dry out in transit.

  4. 04

    Shipped from Montréal

    We pack and ship small batches from Canada to your door — current harvest, never warehouse stock.

Our story

A second act, built on trust.

“I spent twenty years caring for other people. Faith over fear — that's how this started.”

Josie's Sweet Caviar began after a cancer diagnosis in 2021 closed one chapter and a friendship opened another. Josie met a Madagascan family whose farm grows vanilla and spices, and was offered something rare: direct access to the source.

Today every pod, every cinnamon quill, every peppercorn is hand-selected, vacuum-sealed, and shipped in small batches from Canada. No warehouses. No brokers. Just the real thing — and a partnership that creates work on both sides of the ocean.
