Madagascar Vanilla

Madagascar is the world's leading producer of Bourbon Vanilla, a name that designates Vanilla produced in the Indian Ocean.

Lavanilla LAVANY is grown and refined in the bush village of Betavilona in northeastern Madagascar.

Vanilla cultivation in Madagascar is a laborious and meticulous process, hand pollination of vanilla flowers. The pods undergo a long preparation process, including scalding, fermentation, drying and refining, which lasts several months.
