PLANTATION GROWN
Madagascar is the world’s second
largest island nation, located off the
coast of east Africa. It’s climate is
perfect for Vanilla. It is the largest
producer of Vanilla. Madagascar
Vanilla is considered to have the best
taste profile in the world. The pods
grown in Madagascar are among the
largest as well.
VANILLA PLANIFOLIA
A member of the Orchid family, its’
flowers are greenish-yellow. They last
only a day. They must be pollinated
manually, in the morning, to develop
fruit. There is less than 1% chance
that the flowers will pollinate
naturally. To produce fruit
commercially, the flowers must be
hand-pollinated on farms.
HAND POLLINATED
PICKED AND CURED
Vanilla plants require much care in
order to thrive and produce great
vanilla pods. Without hand pollination
at just the right time, very few pods
would develop. After picking (also
done by hand) pods require curing
(again a manual process), which takes
four months to complete.

PROPERTIES OF
MADAGASCAR VANILLA
Natural Vanilla delights the taste buds
as it promotes digestion. Rich in
polyphenols, it is a natural
antidepressant and acts against cell
aging (like chocolate). Also, like
chocolate, vanilla enhances sweet
dishes but is naturally low in sugar and
carbohydrates. Fragrant and fleshy,
the pods reveal their aroma when split
open, enhancing exotic dishes and
pastries.
