Olivier Rœllinger's words
One of the most robustly-flavored vanilla beans with fig, honey and prune flavor notes. The sensual, well-rounded flavors pair exquisitely with chocolate and caramel.
Because they are split at the bottom, Madagascar vanilla beans may not be the prettiest of vanilla beans available. But that split occurs when the bean is ripe and literally bursting with flavor, the way a melon does. True vanilla connaisseurs seek this vanilla bean out--and are right to do so!
