Our selection of vanilla of Indonesia
Vanilla is part of the orchid family living in a unique tropical climate.
It grows on long lianes that wrap up trees in the shade.
The vanilla flavor profile comes from dried vanilla cloves. It takes about three years after his planting so that she begins to bloom.
Each vanctier produces several orchids that bloom at different times of the growing season and do not stay in bloom only one day.
Each flower must be Pollinized by hand To produce a vanilla clove. This process makes the crop of incredibly laborious vanilla and requires constant monitoring so that no orchid is forgotten during the manual pollination process.
The pollinated flowers successfully will give the vanilla cloves ready to be harvested after 8 to 9 months.
The work-intensive process does not stop at the culture alone. Once the vanilla clove is mature, it is subjected to a 6-month drying process for dried vanilla cloves.
From 6 to 7 kilograms of ripe vanilla cloves, only about 1 kilogram of dried vanilla cloves can not be achieved.
A unique vanilla flavor profile is developed during this long process.
Vanilla planifolia, species used to make Bourbon vanilla, is grown in Indonesia since the 19th century. The largest vanilla production area in Indonesia, famous for its quality, is the island of Sulawesi, thanks to its very fertile volcanic soil.
Our supplier and partner was the first company to settle directly at the place of production because, to ensure a sustainable supply of vanilla cloves of the highest quality, cloves must be treated from the beginning, even at the level of culture. What's more, science has shown that the optimal moment to start the first post-harvest process must be less than 24 hours after harvesting vanilla cloves.
Our partner producer applies measures based on standards Fssc * Since the very first post-harvest process to the storage of vanilla pods to ensure that our vanilla cloves comply with the Food security.
* Food Safety System Certification, based on the ISO22000 standard that combines the requirements of distributors and industrial food security.
