Olivier Rœllinger's words

This vanilla bean from Reunion Island is delicate and sweet.

It is grown and cured to perfection by a master vanilla curer in the French department. We especially like to use it in a vanilla-scented warm milk, a treat beloved since childhood.

Story

Our Reunion Island Vanilla Beans are selected, prepared, and cured by a man who has been curing vanilla beans for 28 years near Sainte-Suzanne on the north end of Reunion Island.
He is one of the best vanilla curers in the world, and works with thirty or so small vanilla growers on the island.
