Discover our other origins
Gousse Gourmet — Vanilla planifolia.
Grown using agroforestry methods on volcanic soil, under the shade of the forest. Hand-pollinated flower by flower, selectively harvested at full maturity after about nine months, sun-dried under a dome, then slowly aged for 4 to 6 months.
Rare Pod — Vanilla tahitensis
A rare variety, rarely found on the French market. It undergoes an exceptionally long aging process—a full year—which develops an immediately recognizable aromatic profile.
