🌿 A treasure from afar
Vanilla is one of the world's most valuable ingredients today, but its origins date back to the ancient civilizations of Central America , notably the Toltecs and Aztecs . These peoples were already cultivating vanilla long before it was exported to Europe.
It was in Madagascar , in the 19th century, that the cultivation of Bourbon vanilla (vanilla planifolia) really took off. Thanks to its unique climate and exceptional local know-how, the Big Island today produces 80% of the world's vanilla , renowned for its aromatic richness.
📍 Madagascar: the heart of our commitment
At Origine Vanille , we have chosen to return to our roots . Our pods come from artisanal Malagasy plantations , selected for:
