Little tourism, little infrastructure: it is a preserved, almost raw territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dense tropical climate and this biodiversity give birth to an expressive vanilla, with a more pronounced chocolatey and spicy dimension than its Polynesian cousin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProcessing and maturation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Papua New Guinea, the ripe beans are scalded after harvest, plunged for a few minutes into hot water to start the enzymatic process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is followed by several days of sweating and fermentation, which develop the first aromatic notes characteristic of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrying then alternates between shade and sun for several months, until supple, concentrated and structured beans are obtained.\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“It is one of the most difficult vanillas to source. Papua New Guinea is on the other side of the world: several flights, sometimes boats, to reach these isolated plantations. But this wild land gives a unique vanilla: floral, aniseed, with a depth different from Tahiti. I am attached to it because it comes from a territory that has remained raw, almost intact.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Galand vanille","offers":[{"title":"1 bean","offer_id":51148354191624,"sku":"0003","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 beans","offer_id":51148354224392,"sku":"0003","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 beans","offer_id":51148354257160,"sku":"0003","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 beans","offer_id":51148354289928,"sku":"0003","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g","offer_id":51148354355464,"sku":"0003","price":76.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":51148354388232,"sku":"0003","price":112.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":51148354421000,"sku":"0003","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":51148354453768,"sku":"0003","price":405.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/9955\/3032\/files\/vanille-tahitensis-papouasie-nouvelle-guinee-gousse..jpg?v=1775081438","url":"https:\/\/galand-vanille.com\/en\/products\/vanille-tahitensis-papouasie","provider":"Galand Vanille","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
