French Polynesian Vanilla Bean – Vanilla Tahitensis

The exotic jewel from the heart of the Pacific

Let yourself be seduced by a vanilla experience out of the ordinary. This French Polynesian vanilla bean is not just an ingredient – it’s an aromatic adventure straight from the sun-drenched islands of the Iles de la Société in French Polynesia. Here, where tropical breezes meet nutrient-rich volcanic soil, the world’s most coveted Vanilla Tahitensis plants grow. The result is a vanilla so intense, rich and luxurious that even experienced pastry chefs and gourmet cooks fall head over heels.

This vanilla is known for its impressive richness, silky smooth texture and deep flavor profile. Where regular bourbon vanilla can be sharp and simple, Tahitian vanilla is more complex, romantic and almost perfumed. The secret? The rare aroma component heliotropin, found only in this particular variety, which elevates the scent to a level of sweetness, floral notes and fruity nuances rarely experienced.

Perfect for those who want to create sublime desserts, exquisite baked goods, or simply add a touch of tropical magic to the kitchen. This vanilla pod is not just a product – it’s a hand-picked delicacy created for connoisseurs.

House history – tradition and passion from the Pearl of the Pacific

Our supplier is one of the oldest growers of Vanilla Tahitensis in French Polynesia.
