From the vanilla plant to your plate, follow the path of Bourbon vanilla

My XXL Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar is a little treasure that comes from the end of the world. In the SAVA region, many vanilla trees (a species of orchid) produce tons of vanilla every year. Madagascar represents 80% of the world production. The flowers of the vanilla tree are fertilized to produce beautiful pods after about 9 months. Then, the vanilla is scalded in water at 60-63°. The steaming consists then in placing the pods in covers in wooden boxes. This step allows the beans to lose their skin and to discover this magnificent chocolate color. The drying is done during several weeks by alternating sun and shade. The maturing process lasts between 2 and 4 months. The Bourbon vanilla pod is stored in a trunk. A verifier ensures that the pods are in perfect condition, removing those that are moldy to preserve the others. This is when the vanilla develops its vanillin content and all its flavors. Finally, the measuring consists in arranging the pods and forming bundles according to the size. This is how you can find different sizes, including our famous XXL Madagascar vanilla beans of more than 20 cm.
