The Vanilla

The Vanilla

The fantastic natural Vanilla aroma and flavors do not come only from Vanillin … in Vanilla there is more than 150 aromatic compounds, giving that full intense great flavor.

Vanilla Cultivation

Cultivation

The Vanilla tree comes from the Orchidee family. Discover the most cultivated...

Preparation

The traditional way to prepare the Vanilla (called “curing”) has 3 main phases and all is done manually: a thermal treatment on the green fruit, a drying phase to stabilize the product and then an affinage phase. All done by Planifolia Group experts in our Madagascar unit.

Quality

Our aim is to ensure the finest Vanilla and the best quality of flavor and aromas to Flavor and Fragrances industry

The Vanilla aroma is the most used in the world but only 3% really comes from the Vanilla beans.

All the rest (about 97%) comes from the chemical synthesis of the Vanillin molecule (called simply “Vanillin”, it’s produced from the Phenol or residues of wood pulp containing Lignine) or from a transformation of a natural molecule to Vanillin, (called “Natural Aroma”, it typically comes from Ferulic Acid of the rice or from cloves).
