The Pompona vanilla from Brazil is a rare botanical treasure, from the Pompona species grandiflora. These giant beans, naturally pollinated by hummingbirds in tropical forests, stand out for their outsized dimensions and a unique aromatic palette blending jasmine, tarte Tatin and a light aniseed note. Perfect for fine pastry (flans, creams, rice pudding) or to enhance infused rums and fish dishes, this wild vanilla from Brazil is a precious, limited production. Its exceptional abundance of seeds and its meticulous curing make it one of the most powerful and surprising varieties in the world for connoisseurs.
A word from Paul

“Brazilian Pompona is one of my favorite vanillas. It is rare, hard to find, and each bean is a little treasure. Brazil is a wild land where there are many endemic species. It is a country that is only just starting to produce vanilla. Today, I want to be the first to sell Brazilian vanillas, because they deserve attention. Beans of outsized dimensions, with very surprising aromas. As a pastry chef, when I first smelled them, they reminded me of my grandmother’s apple compote.”

The guide to this vanilla

Pompona vanilla from Brazil: a wild treasure

Brazilian Pompona is a wild treasure of nature. Immediate power, with floral notes of jasmine, tarte Tatin and a light aniseed hint.

01

Beans among the largest in the world

The beans are among the biggest: up to 100 g when green, and after curing, about 25 g. From the grandiflora species, wild, naturally pollinated by hummingbirds and bees.

02

Jasmine, tarte Tatin and a hint of aniseed

A profile that is both floral and indulgent, evoking jasmine as well as caramelized apple.

03

A still-new Brazilian terroir

It grows in the tropical forests of Brazil: rich, humid soils, natural pollination, slow growth. A rare micro-production.

How to use it

  1. Split this giant bean, rich in seeds.
  2. In milk-based desserts: flan, rice pudding, crème anglaise (cold infusion for 24 to 48 h for finesse).
  3. Excellent in infused rums and alcoholic preparations.

Storage

An imposing, rich bean: keep it in an airtight glass tube, away from light and heat.
