A vanilla with incomparable aromatic richness

Vanilla Tahitensis or Tahitian vanilla is the result of crossing two species. This orchid grows in the heart of humid valleys, on soils rich in humus and thrives under shade houses, or tender acacias from which it absorbs the headiest juices. Tahitian vanilla is three to four times thicker than Bourbon Planifolia vanilla. Its particularity is to be indehiscent, that is to say that it does not split on its vine. This is what allows it to retain all the power of its aromas. It thus retains a power of aromas over the long term. We immediately notice its stunning aromas of caramel and anise, and its flesh has a prune smell. Intoxicating, it offers floral and butyric (salted butter) notes of surprising subtlety. It is the most famous vanilla and the most sought after by great chefs. It is harvested three months later than vanilla planifolia.

This powerful and subtle vanilla with floral and aniseed aromas is grown on the island of Tahaa and processed on the island of Raiatea. Tahitian vanilla broadens the aromatic palette of the Norohy range. The short circuit was favored, by limiting intermediaries. Sourcing as close as possible to the producer in the same philosophy of quality and traceability that Norohy wanted to initiate: 200 planters on the island of Tahaa and 1 preparer on the island of Raiatea.
