Rare vanillas grown with passion and expertise

The Galand Vanille commitment

  • Paul Galand in Tanzania holding freshly harvested green planifolia vanilla beans, illustrating Galand Vanille’s direct sourcing.

    I taste every batch

    I visit the growers, taste every batch and keep only the vanilla beans I would serve to a chef.

  • Rare vanilla

    The grower paid for their work

    A vanilla flower lives only a few hours and is pollinated by hand. Then come nine months on the vine, followed by several months of drying and curing. I pay a fair price for this work.

  • Rare vanilla

    Cured in my workshop

    Every vanilla bean is cured in my workshop in Paris. In a glass tube, away from light, it keeps for years. A problem with your delivery? Write to us.

The Galand Vanille commitment

Sourcing by our vanilla master


At Galand Vanille, there is no such thing as a “lesser vintage”. Every vanilla bean is the result of the passionate work of growers from around the world. We keep only the most remarkable beans, rich in flavor. Paul Galand then tastes every batch to guarantee exceptional vanilla.

Rare vanilla

Direct from Growers & Ethics


We cut out the middlemen to guarantee two things: full traceability for you, and fair pay for the grower. Our partners grow vanilla in harmony with natural cycles, without chemicals, for absolute aromatic purity.

Rare vanilla

Grand Cru Vanilla


Every Grand Cru Vanilla bean is selected for its organoleptic quality — unique shape, color, moisture and aromatic profile. Vintage-dated so they can evolve as they keep, our beans can crystallize naturally and develop new aromas after years. Ideal for fine pastry and perfumery, they guarantee pure, natural and exceptional vanilla.

Paul’s advice

Storing and using your vanilla

Store

In glass, in the cupboard.

Between 15 and 20 °C, away from light, a vanilla bean doesn’t expire: it improves with time. Never in the refrigerator: moisture damages it.

The storage guide

Use

Split, scrape, infuse.

Scrape out the caviar, then let everything infuse cold in the milk or cream for 24 to 48 hours. Once empty, the bean can still scent a jar of sugar.

Pastry techniques

White crystals on your vanilla beans? That’s vanillin frost, a sign of quality.

Crystallization

FAQs

Which vanilla varieties do you offer?

We source 19 origins covering the main vanilla species: planifolia (known as Bourbon), the most famous, with indulgent, cocoa-like notes; tahitensis, floral and aniseed, emblematic of Tahiti; pompona, rare and powerful, nicknamed “banana vanilla”; and extremely rare species — cribbiana, bahiana, chamissonis, sotoarenasii, odorata — found nowhere else.

To choose according to your taste, see our guide to the varieties or let our quiz guide you.

What is the difference between Bourbon vanilla and Tahitensis vanilla?

Vanilla planifolia Bourbon from Madagascar is very rich in vanillin, with warm, woody notes. Tahitensis, which contains almost no vanillin, is more floral and offers subtler, more exotic aromas. Each variety has its own personality!

Are the vanilla beans sustainably grown?

Yes. We work exclusively with growers committed to practices that respect the environment and local communities — this is the heart of our direct-from-growers approach, told in our story.
