LITTLE HISTORY OF VANILLA FROM MADAGASCAR

You will discover the true history of the vanilla pod from Madagascar and Reunion and understand everything about the development of vanilla in the Indian Ocean.

Vanilla is a plant that is part of the orchid family.

Mexico is the country of origin of vanilla.

But today, it is Madagascar and Madagascan bourbon vanilla that are the main products on the world market.

Vanilla was introduced to Madagascar in 1871.

It is the French who will introduce plants from Reunion on the big island.

The humid and sunny climate which is very favorable to the production of vanilla and its kilometers of coastline will allow the development of vanilla cultivation.

The vanilla coast of the red island is going to have a rapid expansion of its production.

It is in the Sava region that we find the greatest number of plantations and almost 80% of the vanilla produced on the Big Island.

Sambava is the capital of the city.

WHAT IS MADAGASCAR BOURBON VANILLA BEAN

First of all, it is an emblematic vanilla , which owes its bourbon name to the planters of Reunion Island who introduced this variety to the Big Island in 1880.

Vanilla is an orchid that lives in the tropics. It is the perfect vegetable spice that lives in harmony with its environment, nature.

Vanilla is a very complex plant, which requires the respect of a process or even a strict protocol in order to guarantee its biological cycle and that it can offer you an intense and long aroma in the mouth .

The orchid producing the Madagascar vanilla pod is a hermaphroditic plant , that is to say that it contains both male and female sexes. But in the absence of a small bee which only exists in Mexico, it is necessary to do a pollination by hand. It takes contact between the two sexes, which are separated by a thin membrane. Do not forget the flower in bloom from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. After pollination the vanilla flower will die to give the fruit the famous vanilla bean from Madagascar . A vanilla flower gives a vanilla pod. After pollination, it takes 9 months for the fruit to become fully mature, in Madagascar the harvest is made between June and July after a decree from the Malagasy government. It then takes 3 months of preparation and 3000 to 4000 manipulations for each pod in order to guarantee and shape the best bourbon vanilla pods from Madagascar.

THE CULTIVATION OF VANILLA AND ITS BOTANY

In our video how to plant a vanilla plant, you will learn all about how to maintain your princess, month after month.

You should know that a foot of vanilla can be up to 25 meters. The vanilla tree will go up on a stake then after it will lie on its width.

This vine is a beautiful green color.

The roots will also cling directly to a tree, but they will generally grow on a stake.

The vanilla flowers will not smell. The flowers have a beautiful color, green and yellow like. They will have a trumpet shape.

It takes the hand of man to pollinate this princess. And marry the flower.

Because a tab will separate the stamens from the pistil.

The fruit of vanilla is a green pod in the shape of a very large green bean.

It is a fruit that turns yellow when ripe.

It is in the last week that the fruit will take all its vanillin.

Then you have to do the scalding, parboiling, drying, maturing and finally grading.

It's more than a year of work to make its production of poultry.

THE VANILLA TREE BORN ON THE GROUND BUT THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

Here are two terms that will characterize vanilla.

Indeed, this plant, of Mexican origin, likes hot and humid weather.

And, isn't it true that the plant still plays the role of a climbing vine? A single vanilla sprout can climb on another plant (or a building) and reach 90 meters! You heard 90 meters.

But be careful, you need a few things or the plant can climb. A support.

On our blog, you will discover a series of tutorials, how to grow a typical vanilla from Madagascar at home.

FROM THE FIRST HARVEST TO THE MATURATION OF THE VANILLA POD

The plant takes 3 years to give its first flower , something quite shy at first, but when it reaches maturity between 5 and 7 years, the quantity of flowers is quite significant.

It doesn't take much for the vanilla to grow, a little substrate and the morning sun are enough.

As soon as the plant is ready to produce pods, it will need a helping hand with pollination.

If you don't have a bee, a toothpick will do.

Indeed, there are no insects that pollinate vanilla outside its place of origin, so it is necessary that the fertilization of the flowers be done by hand.

After the flowers are pollinated, the pods are formed. It takes 9 months for the vanilla beans to become ripe and ready to harvest, and even after all that time they have no scent. To have the delicious flavor of black vanilla, green vanilla will have to be prepared. There are two ways to dry the vanilla pod: by a sudden increase in temperature (scalding, bourbon method) or by exposure to the sun (Tahiti vanilla method).

Then the vanilla will turn black and super fragrant .

PREPARING VANILLA

The method of preparation of vanilla is currently the bourbon method in Madagascar which is also found in vanilla from Papua .

Vanilla-producing countries will refer to this ancestral method.

Indeed, once picked, the vanilla must go through important stages:

scalding: Here, each Madagascan vanilla has its own tradition for scalding the vanilla pod, 2 to 3 minutes in a 70° bath for two to three minutes, beware of the wood fire
steaming: here, the vanilla will be put in a box in woolen blankets for about 48 hours. The vanilla will ferment to become oily and especially have black which begins to arrive
Sun drying: The vanilla will be put for one to two weeks alternating between shade and light so that it dries. Here, a sorting will begin to be made between the red vanilla more exposed to the sun and the gourmet. Did you know that you have to massage each vanilla pod one by one?
Refining: The vanilla is ready and for 1 month to 3 months it is refined in a completely dark room. You can also ripen in wooden males. This is where the vanilla will catch its intense and so magical fragrance, here the vanilla will lose 40% of its weight in water
Calibration: The vanillas are calibrated and classified between the 3 classes of vanilla
Packaging: The vanilla is put in boxes to be exported in sulfurized foot

Next, the value of vanilla is determined by its quality. Its length is less than 10% of its price.

Please note that the vacuum packaging of vanilla is prohibited.

Like storing in the freezer.

When a site tells you about keeping vanilla in the freezer why doesn't the vanilla come in a refrigerated container?

BUT HOW TO STORE THE STICKS - THE TUTORIAL ON HOW TO STORE BOURBON VANILLA FROM MADAGASCAR

When we have found the best site to buy vanilla , this is the second question we ask ourselves, but how to store vanilla?

The vanilla bean is a precious and captivating spice that will take us on a journey around the world . Indeed the world of vanilla brings together incredible countries and varieties that can even make us dance the Samba with the vanilla of the mata Atlantica .

To preserve its smell and flavor to flavor a flan, a crème brûlée and other creative recipes you can follow our advice:

Away from light and any temperature shock: Vanilla does not like UV rays, so light and heat make vanilla dry faster and it will lose its suppleness and part of its aroma, goodbye the notes of cocoa and hello the notes of wood. The ideal temperature for keeping vanilla between 15 and 20°C
Dry, without humidity: Even if vanilla basks in the tropics, it does not like humidity, so it is better to put it in a glass tube, a wooden or iron box and above all no cork in cork that facilitates mold and squeeze against each other. Le Comptoir de Toamasina has found for you PET bottles with anti-UV filters to preserve the flavors of vanilla.
Away from the air: As for us, the air will age the vanilla, it will dry it out. So you risk losing its moisture content or even its flavors because vanilla is a chameleon and takes on the smells of everything around it. It must be squeezed in raffia per bunch of 10 to 20 vanilla pods

Now you know everything to keep your vanilla so that it smells fantastic. Vanillin is the flavor of vanilla.

On our blog you will discover the reference article on the conservation of vanilla , with incredible tutorials.

So make flans, pastry cream, crème brûlée, fish, chicken with vanilla from Comptoir de Toamasina.

Discover on the Comptoir de Toamasina blog all the tips and tricks for using the vanilla pod and especially how to split a vanilla pod .

METHODS NOT TO DO IN THE CONSERVATION OF VANILLA

Nowadays, we see more and more sites that sell vanilla, but it is very easy to make people believe that you are a vanilla specialist by buying photos on the internet.

Rare are the sites that travel to the land of spices.

So here we are going to explain to you why the method of preservation in alcohol is a vanilla scam .

It is only for very poor quality vanilla, because we must not forget that alcohol is a natural preservative.

Methods not to do that are the vanilla scam:

Vacuuming the vanilla: A vacuumed vanilla no longer works. You should know that vanilla will naturally lose its moisture content
Putting in rum: In the USA, Canada and in the Caribbean in vanilla-producing countries, the method is prohibited, why? Quite simply, it's a practice to hide the true quality of the vanilla, you risk having poor quality vanilla when you buy it and to make you believe that you've made a good deal, we tell you that, like that your vanilla will not mold
The freezer: No great chef is going to put his vanilla in the freezer. This method is a sign of a vanilla scam from an online store, from a showman who knows very well that his vanilla is of poor quality, poorly prepared and here you stop the vanilla bonus. This method will lose the moisture content of the vanilla

Ask yourself this question, why bourbon vanilla from Madagascar is exported by plane and not by boat in a refrigerated container. $2,500 for a 25 footer compared to 7 euros per kilo for airfreight.

BUY VANILLA IN SUPERMARKETS FROM THE COUNTER OF TOAMASINA

This is a powerful and easy desire for many of you, which we fully understand.

To begin with, there is this pragmatic aspect. You shop and you see the vanilla you need and you buy it. But in the big box a lot of vanilla vendor sites say it's average.

Le Comptoir de Toamasina has been selling vanilla in supermarkets since 2013 due to packaging problems. Our project has been stopped but will resume soon so that in supermarkets you will find vanilla from Comptoir de Toamasina and Arnaud Vanille Plantation.

The prices are reasonable, which is a major plus.

It is too often said how many of you have been disappointed by pods of dubious quality? You should know that the vanilla will pass from the importer to the company that conditions the distribution center and then to the store.

Le Comptoir de Toamasina, a vanilla specialist, wishes to become a major player in the sale of premium quality vanilla in supermarkets.

A PURCHASE OF VANILLA DIRECTLY IN THE PRODUCING COUNTRY

When visiting the Vanilla Islands, a vanilla-producing country, it is tempting to bring back a few vanilla pods.

In Brazil, you will find vanilla of very good quality, because the producers can sell it more expensive on the national market than for export.

In Madagascar, you have export dates and often on the local market you find old batches and the best batches.

But never buy vanilla and spices on the markets during your travels in the producing countries but rather in cooperatives. Even in Guadeloupe during a trip in 2014, we have very strange things on a market.

You should know that all vanilla growers will try to produce high quality vanilla.

But as with pepper, for example, the extra quality is totally exported and the little that remains is sold at the French market price, for example.

The same example for gourmet type coffee, coffee from Minas Gerais which is one of the best in the world but if you want gourmet quality you will have to pay the price.

The problem in the producing countries you do not know who is the producer or exporter preparer. An uninitiated will so lose.

We see vanilla that is sold vacuum-packed and this practice is prohibited because it stops the ripening process of the vanilla.

Some travelers have returned from Madagascar with a large number of pods in order to stock up on vanilla, only to find soon after that their vanilla will turn from gourmet to red due to poor preparation.

If you want to buy vanilla on site, discover the Comptoir de Toamasina videos to buy high quality vanilla pods during your travels abroad and especially discover the ranger expedition, the most beautiful trip to Brazil.
