Vanilla pod - bourbon
Along with saffron, cardamom and fennel pollen, vanilla is one of the most exclusive spices in the world. Vanilla is extracted from a specific orchid in a process that takes weeks. Although the prices have been going through the roof for years because there is hardly any good vanilla available, we strive to offer good quality at an affordable price.
The well-known Bourbon vanilla takes its name from the island of Bourbon, now Réunion. It has a balanced, characteristically sweet and heavy aroma: an intense fragrance and a strong, full-bodied taste. Accordingly, the bourbon vanilla is suitable for almost all dishes with which vanilla goes well.
