It's in the Breton terroir, located by the sea and extending onto the Atlantic ocean, characterized by a temperate oceanic climate generally less conducive to the cultivation of vanilla vines than tropical regions, that underground cultivation techniques have made it possible to cultivate and refine this extra gourmet vanilla.
The secret lies in creating an appropriate microclimate to mimic the necessary tropical conditions. This feat is the achievement of local farmers and passionate producers, who by recreating the ideal tropical conditions for growing vanilla, manage to produce vanilla pods of exceptional quality.
Cultivated in unitilized greenhouses rehabilitated for experimental purposes, this exceptional vanilla is the fruit of the know-how of enthusiasts in the region. The unique climatic conditions of Brittany, combined with innovative growing techniques, give the Vanilla Gourmet de Bretagne a delicately floral aromatic profile, with subtle notes of fruit and undergrowth.
The notes of the terroir, associated with the geography, soil and specific climate of the region are very present and influence the taste and aroma, giving it a unique touch, very different from vanilla from tropical regions. They present delicate floral aromas due to the controlled conditions which favor pollination and growth, subtle fruity notes such as nuances of red fruits and tropical fruits, as well as woody and iode notes which balance and bring roundness and depth to the aromatic bouquet.
