Vanilla planifolia split frosted from Indonesia Sulawesi

Volcanic power, ripe and bold

Harvested at full maturity, sometimes until the bean splits naturally, this vanilla develops a powerful aromatic profile, typical of extremely ripe beans. The volcanic terroir leaves its signature: spiced red berries, orange peel, deep vanilla, muscovado sugar, with smoky, almost leathery accents.

The beans are drier to the touch, but concentrated to the core. Some are frosted, a sign of a high vanillin content. The curing is perfectly mastered: long, precise, demanding. Indonesia has understood how to bring planifolia to a rare level of concentration.

This vanilla will delight your taste buds in any preparation: in an intense dark chocolate, a red berry jam, a reduced jus or a sweet-savory dish.

Carefully mastered curing

In Sulawesi, at the foot of the volcanoes, vanilla grows in black, dense soil saturated with minerals. It is one of the most beautiful terroirs you could ever travel through: wild, rich, almost untamed. The beans dry close to the volcano, in air charged with heat and telluric energy.
