Bourbon vanilla is the name given to vanilla pods of the orchid Vanilla planifolia. It is the most cultivated type of vanilla. Vanilla planifolia is a climbing orchid originally from Mexico, which is now bred in various tropical areas. It is also known as bourbon vanilla. The name Bourbon comes from the island of Reunion, which used to be called Bourbon. The French started growing vanilla there. About half of the world's production today comes from Madagascar. The bourbon vanilla is the "typical" vanilla for most Europeans. We offer bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, from the "Golden Triangle" in the north of the country. We source the vanilla directly from a farming family. We offer only the top quality and the longest pods.
Bourbon vanilla is a widely used spice in the dessert world for desserts of all kinds as well as a special something for fish and meat dishes.
With the Bourbon Vanilla you can refine numerous desserts with a unique floral note: parfaits, soufflés and curd desserts, vanilla ice cream and custard, cocoa and drinking chocolate, fruit salad, Bavarian cream, panna cotta, biscuits, cakes and strudel.
Even the pith of the pod already contains a lot of aroma and taste of the vanilla. To get a lot of this aroma, it is recommended to cut pods lengthwise. However, most of the aroma is given in the shell and can be obtained by boiling.
Bourbon vanilla can be found in Madagascar and Mauritius. This variety is particularly appreciated in Europe. After all, the aroma is intense and at the same time radiates a certain harmony.
