This vanilla delivers an intense, "full-bodied" flavor with delicate undertones of cocoa and dried fruit. Its high vanillin content gives it a rich, sweetly creamy aroma with warm, faintly "rum-like" notes – professionals call it a rhum-raisin profile – and it's exactly the depth a dessert needs. That's why it's such a favorite in a proper crème anglaise, homemade ice cream, or anywhere you want a truly bold, authentic vanilla flavor.
Madagascar Bourbon is a true all-rounder in the kitchen. Thanks to its stability, it's perfect for recipes that go through heat – from warm custards like crème brûlée, puddings, or sauces, to baked doughs for cakes, brioche, and cookies, right through to savory dishes, where it beautifully complements seafood like scallops or poultry.
You're getting Gourmet (A) grade – the very top tier of Madagascar vanilla. Each pod measures about 19 cm and is packed with fresh "caviar" – tiny aromatic seeds. Unlike the cheaper TK grade, which tends to be drier, brownish, and prone to cracking, these pods are black, supple, and glossy. You'll receive two pods packed in a protective glass tube.
The glass tube isn't just for show – glass holds in moisture and the concentration of aromatic oils better than plastic or paper, keeping your vanilla soft, pliable, and fragrant for many months. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer the pods to an airtight glass or tin container.
