Recipe idea

Why choose our Madagascan vanilla liqueur?

Our liqueur is made from Bourbon vanilla pods sourced from Madagascar, renowned for their rich aroma.

The vanilla pods are macerated in a top-quality French neutral spirit for several weeks to gradually extract their aromas. The resulting macerate is then blended with French white sugar to achieve a harmonious balance between the intensity of the vanilla and its sweetness.

Containing no artificial colourings, its colour comes from the maceration of the vanilla pods and may therefore vary from one batch to the next.

FAQ – Madagascar Vanilla Liqueur

Where does vanilla come from?

Vanilla originates from Mexico, where the flower is naturally pollinated by an endemic bee known as the melipona.

In Madagascar, the vanilla flower is mainly pollinated by hand by women known as ‘marieuses’. This technique allows for control over the fertilisation of the flowers and contributes to the development of vanilla production on the island.

What is Bourbon vanilla?

The term ‘Bourbon vanilla’ does not refer to a botanical variety but to a label. It is a designation historically associated with certain varieties of vanilla from the Indian Ocean, all of which are primarily derived from the species "Vanilla planifolia".

The name ‘Bourbon’ historically refers to Bourbon Island, the former name of Réunion. Today, it is associated with vanilla produced on several islands in the Indian Ocean, notably Madagascar, Réunion, the Seychelles, Mauritius and the Comoros.

All vanilla from Madagascar is Bourbon vanilla, but not all Bourbon vanilla comes from Madagascar.

Why choose Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar?

Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar is renowned for its rich and indulgent flavour profile. Madagascar is also the world’s leading producer of vanilla, which contributes to its reputation amongst professionals in the culinary and pastry sectors.

Can this liqueur be used in cooking?

Yes. Vanilla liqueur can be used in baking, cooking and desserts.

In particular, it can be used to flavour tiramisu, crème brûlée, crêpes, ice cream or fruit salad. It can also be used in sauces and sweet-and-savoury recipes.

Should vanilla liqueur be kept in the fridge once opened?

No, that isn’t necessary. Once opened, simply store the bottle away from light, heat and significant temperature fluctuations.

However, you can keep it in the fridge if you wish.

How long can vanilla liqueur be kept?

Liqueurs do not generally have a use-by date or best-before date like perishable food products. For this vanilla liqueur, however, we recommend consuming it within two years of purchase, even if it has not yet been opened.

Over time, its aromatic qualities may change and the intensity of the vanilla flavour may diminish.

How to use vanilla liqueur?

Thanks to its rich, indulgent flavour profile, this vanilla liqueur can be used in many different ways.

Vanilla liqueur in cocktails

It adds a hint of vanilla and an exotic touch to the great classics of mixology.

Vanilla Espresso Martini: add around 3 cl of vanilla liqueur to enhance the cocktail’s rich flavours.
Vanilla White Russian: combine it with vodka and coffee cream for an even smoother and more aromatic version.
Ti’vanille: replace the lemon and sugar in your Ti’punch with vanilla liqueur!
Premium Pornstar Martini: rather than using vanilla-flavoured vodka for the Pornstar Martini, choose a good-quality vodka and combine it with our vanilla liqueur.

It can also be used in numerous homemade creations featuring coffee, chocolate, fruit or dark spirits.
