A Culinary Gem: The Madagascar Pompona Vanilla Bean

Unveiling the Pompona Vanilla Bean

Madagascar’s Tsy Taitry vanilla is esteemed as a rare and precious variety due to its hybrid origin and unique characteristics, stemming from a cross between the Bourbon vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) and Vanilla pompona.

Thriving in Madagascar’s Sambava region, this hybrid vanilla boasts exceptional flavors and aromas, thanks to the island’s ideal climatic conditions and fertile soil. Its notable size, with pods reaching up to 28 cm in length, marks it as one of the market’s largest and most succulent vanillas.

A Flavor Profile Unmatched

The Madagascar vanilla pompona offers a unique blend of flavors: the intense vanilla essence of the planifolia variety, complemented by the fruity and slightly tangy nuances of the pompona variety, making it a vanilla of unparalleled complexity.

This blend results in an aroma that is more fruity and floral than traditional vanillas, enhancing each culinary application to delicious new heights.
