The Galand Vanille guide
Madagascar Vanilla
Madagascar vanilla is the ultimate benchmark, the queen of vanillas. Grown in the legendary SAVA region, around Antalaha, it owes its renown to its indulgent, powerful aromatic profile. At Galand Vanille, our Madagascar vanilla beans are hand-selected by Paul Galand, direct from the growers, to guarantee ripeness and traceability.
Why Madagascar vanilla is the benchmark
The terroir of the SAVA region, its climate and the know-how of Malagasy planters give this vanilla planifolia its famous “Bourbon” character: warm, round and deep notes. It is the perfect vanilla for classic pastry and all indulgent desserts.
Our Madagascar vanilla beans
- Vanilla Bourbon from Madagascar: the very essence of indulgent vanilla, with notes of chocolate, caramel, butter and prune. Ideal for creams and cakes.
- Frosted vanilla from Antalaha: a pinnacle of ripeness. The vanillin crystallizes naturally on the surface, a sign of long curing and exceptional aromatic concentration.
- Vanilla Tsy Taitry from Madagascar: a Malagasy vanilla born of hybridization, with surprising notes of candied fruit and black olive, for curious palates.
Texture and curing: what you need to know
A drier or brittle Madagascar vanilla bean is never a flaw. It is often the mark of extended curing that concentrates the aromas. Frosted vanilla is the best example: its vanillin crystals bear witness to a rare quality of curing, to be discovered among our selection of pompona vanilla and rarities.
