Spice Hunter & Vanilla Pod Specialist

Arnaud, the visionary founder of Le Comptoir de Toamasina, is recognized as a master in the art of vanilla, affectionately nicknamed Arnaud Vanille. His adventure began selling precious Bourbon vanilla pods from Madagascar at the Sébastopol market in Lille—an aromatic journey that started in March 2010 when he was just 21 years old.

Total Mastery

From 2016 to 2022, Arnaud mastered the producer's craft on an experimental vanilla and pepper plantation in Brazil to ensure total excellence.

Rare Selection

Our collection includes rare peppers (Kampot, Muntok, Malabar) and authentic vanillas with timeless fragrances.

Creative Cooking

Every set is an invitation to discovery—a perfect gift for curious palates and an essential kitchen seasoning.

His quest takes him to the four corners of the globe to discover the finest spice harvests. In 2015, he settled in Brazil—a land rich in spices and coffee. The objective was clear: master every single stage of production to guarantee pure, outstanding flavors.
