The Galand Vanille guide

Vanilla Planifolia

Vanilla planifolia is the queen species: it accounts for around 95% of world production. In the Indian Ocean, it takes the prestigious name of “Bourbon” vanilla. Rich in vanillin, it is the most versatile vanilla bean, perfect for pastry. At Galand Vanille, each origin is hand-selected by Paul Galand direct from the growers.

Vanilla planifolia: one species, a thousand terroirs

While the species is one and the same, each origin tells a different aromatic story. Terroir shapes surprisingly varied profiles, from the most indulgent to the woodiest.

Our vanilla planifolia origins

Frosted planifolia vanillas, the pinnacle of curing

“Frosted” vanilla shows vanillin crystals on its surface, the result of a long, carefully controlled curing. Far from being a flaw, this drier texture is the mark of exceptional aromatic concentration.

How to use it

Thanks to its high vanillin content, vanilla planifolia is a safe bet for your recipes: crème anglaise, flans, cakes, caramels. A drier or more brittle bean is not a flaw, but often the sign of extended curing. For storage and dosage, our expert advice guides you toward the best use.

To explore other profiles, compare it with Madagascar vanilla and the delicate vanilla tahitensis. All our beans come direct from the growers.
