Real Tahitian vanilla (from Tahiti: French Polynesia) is exceptional in every way. Produced in very limited quantities, it is generally chefs' favourite.
And with good reason! These vanilla pods of the Tahitensis variety have their own unique characteristics.
First of all, they are impressive: a moisture content of about 40%, extremely large, supple and fleshy pods.
But even more interestingly, it is their aromatic profile that is atypical! Whereas a Planifolia-type Bourbon vanilla bean (Madagascar vanilla for example) will have cocoa and fruity notes and a strong accent on greediness, Tahitian vanilla is more complex.
Its low level of vanillin (0.8 to 1% on average) allows other, much finer aromas to develop: magnificent, sweet and floral aniseed flavours appear.
Packed in a glass tube to preserve all their flavour and freshness, these Tahitian vanilla beans are the prerogative of fine connoisseurs, or those seeking to discover new pleasures.
