The origin of Norohy split vanilla

Derived from the Vanilla Planifolia plant, these vanilla beans are native to Madagascar, specifically the Maroantsetra – Mananara region. These lands are world-famous for the exceptional quality of their vanilla and their distinctive aromas. What’s more, “BIO” certification guarantees that our vanilla beans are grown according to the principles of Organic Agriculture, which strives to protect health and biodiversity by avoiding the use of insecticides and pesticides.

The benefits of split vanilla beans

A natural process

When fully ripe, the Planifolia vanilla pods split naturally to release their seeds.

These are known as dehiscent* fruits. These mature pods have a particularly high vanillin content, giving them intense, complex aromas.

A veritable jewel, these beans receive special care during the slow preparation and maturing process. Particularly sought-after by the most demanding chefs, these fleshy, fragrant beans are the very excellence of Madagascan vanilla.

* A fruit is said to be dehiscent when it opens spontaneously at maturity to release the seeds.

Split vanilla: an aromatic treasure trove

Prized for its rich, complex aroma

After processing, the split vanilla bean loses some of its seeds at the bottom, but remains fleshy and very rich in aromatic substances, including vanillin and over 150 other molecules.

This aromatic richness transforms every dish into a unique sensory experience, where floral and woody notes blend harmoniously. Used in desserts, it brings incomparable depth and complexity. For gastronomy professionals, split vanilla is a treasure to be cherished, offering sophistication and elegance that sublimate every culinary creation.

However, this quality is still quite rare on the Gourmet vanilla market, and the unsplit quality is currently the most representative.
