Technical Sheet
Gourmet Grade Tahitian vanilla beans in bulk kilo packaging.
This vanilla comes from across French Polynesia—Tahiti, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Moorea. Each island contributes subtle nuances: Raiatea produces a distinctly aniseed, fine woody profile due to basaltic valley soils. Tahaa leans toward a more floral, caramel bouquet.
It was on Raiatea island (Faaroa) that this species was first scientifically described in 1933 by botanist J.W. Moore.

My name is Arnaud Sion, known as Arnaud Vanille. Vanilla tahitensis from Tahiti stands out for its wide, plump, and moist pods. Because this vanilla is indehiscent, it cures naturally on the vine for 50% of the curing time, eliminating the need for thermal hot-water scalding.
Each bean is a concentrated essence of fruity, floral, and anise aromas that shine across both sweet desserts and delicate seafood dishes. At Le Comptoir de Toamasina, we are proud to offer these beans at direct wholesale value.
"For bulk wholesale needs in pastry and catering—unmatched floral elegance delivered fast."
