You should know that it is during the last two weeks that the vanilla plant will give the aromatic power of vanilla, it is vanillin. Today Brazil is working to combine this variety with Bahian for a rare vanilla which would have a vanillin level of more than 6% and which will not split, therefore an improvement for the profitability of the plantation unlike the vanilla pod. from Madagascar which has a vanillin level between 1.6 and 1.8 and that is very good.

The process of preparing this vanilla is an art in itself, involving several months of maturation and exposure to the sun to fully develop its scent.

TAHITENSIS VANILLA FROM TAHITI AND ITS HISTORY

Tahitian vanilla, often nicknamed "The Black Gold of the Pacific", is a variety highly prized by renowned chefs because of its intense fragrance and its rarity. Here is his fascinating story:

    • Origins: Tahitian vanilla belongs to the vast orchid family, bearing the scientific name Vanilla x Tahitensis. Its history goes back a long way: from the time of the Aztecs in Mexico, vanilla was recognized for its power to flavor cocoa. In 1841, a young slave from the island of Bourbon (today Réunion) named Edmond discovered the process of artificial fertilization of vanilla pods. Later, in 1848, Admiral F. Hamelin brought vanilla plants from the Philippines to Tahiti.
    • Particularities: What makes Tahitian vanilla unique is its incomparable scent, thanks to a remarkable feature: unlike other varieties, it does not split when it reaches full maturity, thus preserving all the richness of its aromas. Unlike other vanillas, it continues to grow on the vine until harvest.
    • Production: Over the decades, Tahitian vanilla production has seen a notable decline. If in 1949, Tahiti produced around 300 tonnes of vanilla, this production dropped to only 132 tonnes in 1967. Today, Tahitian vanilla remains a luxury product, representing barely 0.3% of world production.
