Comoros Vanilla

Comoros vanilla, balsamic-soft Bourbon vanilla from the Comoros

Vanilla planifolia from the Comoros with a soft, balsamic aroma reminiscent of soured bread. Classic Bourbon character with a fine depth. We sort and pack the pods in our workshop in Klingenberg am Main.

Taste and aroma

Soft, balsamic and full-bodied with the typical Bourbon depth. Less sharply sweet than Madagascar vanilla, but with a slightly tart, bready note that comes into its own in creamy desserts.

How to use

A classic for vanilla sauce, panna cotta, crème brûlée and vanilla ice cream. Seasons baked goods, yeast dough, pudding and fruit compote, and adds a fine accent to fish, poultry, curries and creative sauces.

Important: store airtight, cool and dark, and the pod stays aromatic and supple for a long time. Scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife, and don't throw the scraped pod away, use it on in sugar or milk.
