HOW TO STORE PAPUA PLANIFOLIA VANILLA

The planifolia vanilla pod from Papua will be stored like other vanilla. 

But being an ingredient, a  basic flavor for many food products, such as cakes, pastries and drinks. You must store it well so as not to alter its aroma, its aromatic power and its freshness.  Because  vanilla is a chameleon  and it is very easy to modify its flavor. You will discover the video at the end of the paragraph.

There are several methods for storing vanilla beans, and these methods can vary depending on the shape of the vanilla and the intended use.

First of all,  vanilla beans should be stored in a dark, dry place to preserve their aroma.

They can be stored in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid or wrapped in parchment paper and stored in a drawer inside a box.

It is important not to expose them to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can affect their aroma.

It's also important not to store vanilla beans next to other ingredients that can affect their flavor, such as spices or citrus fruits.

If vanilla beans are stored next to these ingredients, they may absorb their aroma and lose their unique taste.

It is recommended to check the vanilla beans regularly to ensure that they have not been damaged or contaminated by fungus. If a vanilla bean is moldy or has taken on a flavor from another product, you need to isolate it. A pod that has taken on the aroma of another product, perhaps used or moldy, you can put it in the trash.

In addition to storing vanilla beans in a dark, dry place, it is important to use them quickly after purchase. Buy vanilla for 1 year and no more. 

Quick use ensures that the vanilla beans are at their peak in taste and aroma.

But for the love of God, never put your vanilla in the freezer or fridge; you will distort the flavor of the vanilla and its aromatic power. 

Finally, it is important to consider the quality of vanilla beans when purchasing them.

Superior quality vanilla pods, called gourmet quality, must be soft, have no liquid coming out and above all the olfactory notes must be sweet and delicious.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAPUA PLANIFOLIA VANILLA AND PAPUA TAHITENSIS VANILLA - DISCOVER THE CULTIVATION AND PREPARATION METHODS OF BOTH VANILLAS

I would like to present to you here the two vanillas that you will have in Papua. Unlike Tahitian vanilla which is dried on the vine, Papua gourmet vanilla for its two varieties will have the same type of preparation after pollination.

Vanilla Planifolia from Papua - An Elegant Perfume

Planifolia vanilla, originally from Mexico, is a variety that seduces with its refined fragrance. Its pods, long and fleshy, reveal notes of leather, spices and floral sweetness. They are the jewel of desserts and exquisite dishes. You have a better level of vanillin than in tahitensis. Only Bahian vanilla will have a significantly higher level of vanillin.

Cultivation and Preparation Methods

  1. Traditional Harvest : In Papua, producers harvest vanilla by hand, with care. They use the scalding method, similar to that of Madagascar. The pods are then dried, thus preserving their aromatic power.
  2. Size and Width : Planifolia vanilla pods from Papua are wider than those from Tahiti. However, in terms of vanillin levels and flavors, they are on the same standard.

Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua - An Exotic Journey

Tahitensis vanilla ,  for its part, offers a unique sensory journey. Originally from Tahiti, it is distinguished by its wild, musky and floral notes. Imagine yourself in the heart of a tropical forest, where each pod contains a captivating story.

Cultivation and Preparation Methods

  1. Partial Drying on the Stand in Tahiti in Papua bourbon method : The Tahitensis variety is the only one in the world not to open at full maturity. It is partially dried on the vanilla plant, thus preserving its unique aromas. In Papua, there is currently no equipment to make the same preparation as in Polynesia, so the vanilla is simply scalded. But that doesn't take away from its quality.
  2. Size and Thickness : Tahitensis vanilla pods from Papua are thinner than those from Tahiti. However, they offer exceptional aromatic power. The two varieties planifolia and Tahitensis will have the same size in width. 

The Exceptional Choice

Whether you opt for Planifolia or Tahitensis vanilla,  Comptoir de Toamasina  offers you authentic treasures. Each pod is an invitation to culinary creativity. Treat yourself to these wonders and enhance your dishes with elegance.
