The Bourbon vanilla from Mauritius is an absolute rarity in the Indian Ocean. From the Planifolia variety, it benefits from perfectly controlled curing that pushes the vanillin content to its natural maximum. Its unique profile reveals notes of rose, grape, dulce de leche and a hint of iodine. This small-scale production, born on rich volcanic soil, brings masterful depth to your ganaches, creams and exceptional chantilly creams.

A word from Paul

“This Mauritius vanilla stands apart. It has nothing to do with the other Bourbons I know. In Mauritius, there are hardly any vanilla plantations left; you can count them on the fingers of one hand. The grower does a great job on the curing of the vanilla, which gives this planifolia a unique character. It is an exceptional vanilla, almost a collector’s item.”

Paul Galand

The guide to this vanilla

Mauritius vanilla: a Bourbon like no other

On the small island of Mauritius, in the heart of the Indian Ocean, a Bourbon vanilla with a singular character is born. Not Madagascar, not Réunion, not the Comoros: here, the identity stands apart. An intensely vanilla-forward vanilla, powerful and perfectly controlled.

01

A small-scale production

The island grows vanilla in small quantities, on rich volcanic soil, among cocoa trees, fruit trees and vegetable crops. Vanilla growing has almost disappeared there: the growers can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

02

Exceptional curing

The grower carries out precise curing work, supported by a demanding scientific approach, which pushes the vanillin content to its natural maximum and gives this planifolia its unique character.

03

A profile of rose, grape and dulce de leche

The aroma evokes rose, grape, dulce de leche, with a hint of iodine: a floral and indulgent palette, carried by an intense vanilla.

How to use it

  1. Split and scrape the bean to release the caviar.
  2. Infuse hot to structure a cream, a ganache, a chantilly cream, or cold for 24 to 48 h.
  3. Transforms a simple syrup into an exceptional preparation.

Storage

A precious bean: keep it in an airtight glass tube, away from light.

Through its rare crystallization and its balance: a high concentration of vanillin without harshness.

Intensely vanilla-forward, with notes of rose, grape, dulce de leche and a hint of iodine.

The island produces small quantities, and this level of quality remains rare.
