Vanilla pompona split from Martinique
V. pompona grandiflora — Vintage 2024/2025
Concentrated indulgence
Pompona from Martinique is an exceptional vanilla, rare and precious. Its aromatic palette is unique: notes of Amarena cherry, candied apples, raspberries, honey and hints of licorice.
This vanilla stands out for its aromatic power: it fully expresses itself when you use the whole bean, including the skin, which is tender and concentrated in aromas.
It enhances sweet preparations such as crème anglaise, rice pudding or chocolate desserts, but also finds an elegant place in savory fish recipes.
An exceptional selection
The beans are harvested at full maturity and split almost to the top. From the grandiflora species, each bean is plump, glossy and rich in essential oils. Production is extremely limited: less than one kilogram per year, reserved for collectors and the most demanding pastry chefs.
Martinique, a volcanic island
The Martinique terroir gives this vanilla its singularity. The nutrient-rich volcanic soils offer ideal conditions for optimal aromatic development. Cultivation respects tradition, as does every step from harvest to curing.
A word from Paul Galand
“Pompona from Martinique is an exceptional vanilla, rare, almost precious. It is one of the largest vanillas I have in my collection. Some beans can be ten to twenty times larger than a classic planifolia bean. It is a vanilla I use whole to make the most of all its power. It pairs as well with desserts as with fish. For me, it is a vanilla for collecting and tasting, both generous and refined.”
