Vanilla from Tahiti TERRE EXOTIQUE, 1 pc.

Although Tahitian vanilla is not as well known as its relative from Madagascar, it really surprises with its rich, strong aroma. Due to its exceptional properties, it is the most expensive vanilla in the world.

Tahitian vanilla accounts for only 1% of the world’s vanilla production. It is the most expensive and sought after of all vanilla types. These incredible and coveted seeds are so rare that they cost more per gram than silver and are the second most expensive spice after saffron.

Due to its sweet taste and exotic floral aroma, it is especially appreciated by the confectioners of the world, as it gives a refined taste to both sweet and salty dishes.

Vanilla tahitensis, or Tahitian vanilla, was obtained by crossing two species. 1848-1850 vanilla aromatica and vanilla fragrans were introduced to Polynesia. After many successful experiments on the windy islands, vanilla tahitensis was born, growing in humid valleys, in humus-rich soil, in the shade, or under acacia trees, from which they absorb juicy sap.
