{"product_id":"vanille-pompona-perou","title":"Vanilla pompona from Peru","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA wild intensity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense and wild, Pompona vanilla from Peru develops notes of tobacco, tonka, leather and red berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown as \u003cstrong\u003e“Sekut”\u003c\/strong\u003e by the indigenous communities of the region, it is considered the original vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts identity is closely tied to its exceptional terroir: humid equatorial climate, dense vegetation, rich and living soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its aromatic power, this vanilla stands up very well to cooking. It balances sweet preparations perfectly, especially baked doughs such as croissants, brioches… In savory dishes, it pairs very well with roast meats, reduced sauces, robust jus, and above all foie gras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe careful with the dosage: the bitterness is pronounced, especially in the skin, where most of the aromatic compounds are concentrated. Use the whole bean, but sparingly. Used too heavily, it can dominate and unbalance a preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRare crystallization and molecular signature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to coumarin, Pompona naturally contains as much vanillin as a planifolia. It develops a true vanilla intensity, which brings it close to a planifolia vanilla. Despite its botanical differences, you clearly find that familiar aromatic thread: roundness, depth, a clear vanilla sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts most characteristic crystallization does not come from vanillin, but from coumarin, present in large quantities in this variety. This molecule can appear as slightly orange microcrystals, embedded in the skin of the bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis may be surprising, or even mistaken for mold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a natural signature, proof of its molecular richness and aromatic concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmazon rainforest – Endemic origin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pompona is endemic to the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. It still grows in the wild. Pollination is natural: hummingbirds, melipona bees, ants and other insects help carry the pollen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a vanilla of pure origin, from a living ecosystem. Production is limited, irregular, dependent on nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#eeeeee;border-left:5px solid #999999;padding:15px;margin-top:18px\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"\u003eA word from Paul Galand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Peruvian Pompona is a wild vanilla in every sense of the word. It is also one of the vanillas that surprised me most when I held it in my hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I bit into the bean for the first time, I spat it out instantly. I found it too bitter, too raw. So I started working with it, cooking with it to understand it. In ice cream, in baked dough, in cooking… and then it revealed itself as extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is powerful, very aromatic, with a unique ability to ‘de-sweeten’ preparations, to rebalance a dessert. For me, it is one of the best vanillas in the world for making vanilla ice cream.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Galand vanille","offers":[{"title":"1 bean +13cm","offer_id":51148353667336,"sku":"0002","price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 beans +13cm","offer_id":51148353700104,"sku":"0002","price":72.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 beans +13cm","offer_id":51148353732872,"sku":"0002","price":140.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 beans +13cm","offer_id":51148353798408,"sku":"0002","price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 bean +24cm","offer_id":51148353831176,"sku":"0002","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 beans +24cm","offer_id":51148353863944,"sku":"0002","price":115.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 beans +24cm","offer_id":51148353896712,"sku":"0002","price":220.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 beans +24cm","offer_id":51148353962248,"sku":"0002","price":380.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/9955\/3032\/files\/vanille-pompona-perou-sekut-gousse-originale..jpg?v=1775079977","url":"https:\/\/galand-vanille.com\/en\/products\/vanille-pompona-perou","provider":"Galand Vanille","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
