Madagascan Gourmet Bourbon vanilla pods 1 stick

The Madagascar vanilla pod is the most popular vanilla in the world, its aroma and scent are familiar to everyone. The classic vanilla scent, pure and bold, is softened with a hint of chocolate, caramel and vanilla spice notes.

Most of the world's vanilla is produced in Madagascar, so it's a familiar scent and flavour we all love. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, Madagascar leads the world in vanilla production, with an annual harvest of nearly 4,000 tonnes.

One of Madagascar's most popular vanillas is Bourbon. Contrary to popular belief, Madagascar's Bourbon vanilla bean is not named after a type of alcohol. Bourbon Island (now Reunion Island) is an island 800 km from Madagascar where vanilla is grown. Today, other nearby islands, such as the Comoros and its sister island (Moroni), provide a healthy environment for growing vanilla. These vanillas are of the highest quality, with a rich, dark aroma. They are very oily with a strong vanilla aroma. Perfect choice for homemade vanilla extract, ice creams, cakes, pastries.
