Vanilla Bourbon from Madagascar
Vanilla from Madagascar is one of the most famous vanillas in the world for its quality and its rich and complex aroma.
Madagascar the world's leading producer of Bourbon vanilla, a designation that designates the vanilla produced in the Indian Ocean, notably in Madagascar, but also in Comoros, Réunion and Mauritius.
Vanille LAVANY is cultivated and refined in bush village of Betavilona north-east of Madagascar.
Madagascar vanilla is appreciated for its fleshy, oily and very fragrant pods, with sweet, warm and slightly woody notes. It is widely used in pastry, cooking and flavouring industry.

Madagascar's vanilla is often considered a luxury product because of its high cost, which reflects the intensive work needed to produce it and its exceptional quality.
