Ground vanilla quality I comes from the Bourbon variety, scientifically known as Vanilla Planifolia. This variety is traditional and the most widespread due to its high vanillin content, which gives it its characteristic aroma and flavor. Our ground vanilla contains 100% ground pods from Madagascar.

Aroma and flavor of ground vanilla
The most important component of vanilla is vanillin, which is responsible for its characteristic pleasant aroma and sweet flavor. This is why vanilla has become one of the most popular spices in the world. The average vanillin content in vanilla pods varies significantly depending on the variety size and subsequent processing.
Generally, this value ranges between:
- 1-2% is the typical value for Bourbon vanilla (Vanilla planifolia), which is the more common variety grown in Madagascar.
- 0.7-1.5% is the typical value for Tahitian vanilla (Vanilla tahitensis). This type usually has a lower vanillin content but a richer aroma that is less sweet and more fragrant. It is primarily used in aromatherapy.
History and Origin
True vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is a climbing orchid cultivated for its fruit—vanilla pods. It originates from Mexico, where the indigenous people called it tlilxochitl (black pod). Vanilla was introduced to Europe in the 16th century and quickly became a sought-after ingredient. Today, it is mainly grown in Madagascar, Indonesia, Tahiti, as well as in Sri Lanka, the Bahamas, and Uganda.
