The Heart of Vanilla – A Taste of Pure Madagascar
There are flavours that tell stories and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is one of them.
Known as the Heart of Vanilla, it embodies the essence of authenticity, elegance, and craftsmanship.
Grown under the tropical sun of the SAVA region, every pod carries a deep, sweet fragrance that has made Madagascar the world’s vanilla capital. At Comptoir Des Épices Madagascar, we grow and prepare our vanilla through our own cooperative, where 70%
of the farmers are women, guardians of ancestral know-how and nature’s rhythm.
Why Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Is So Unique
Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is prized for its intense aroma, high vanillin content, and rich, creamy notes that enhance both sweet and savoury creations.
Among the most precious forms of this spice lies the Vanilla Caviar the pure, black pulp extracted from inside the pod. It takes about 5 kg of vanilla beans to make 1 kg of caviar, all extracted by hand a symbol of patience, skill, and devotion.
