Indonesian vanilla powder

Indonesian vanilla powder

Indonesian vanilla powder comes from the Vanilla planifolia variety grown on the islands of Java and Sumatra, renowned for their tropical climate which allows the beans to ripen slowly and naturally. Used for generations in local culinary traditions, this vanilla is processed by hand into a fine powder from carefully dried and ground whole beans, without the addition of additives or sugar. It is distinguished by its deep, woody and slightly smoky aromas, which bring a unique intensity to preparations. Unlike Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, which is softer and more floral, Indonesian vanilla powder is powerful and lingering on the palate, ideal for lovers of strong flavours.

 It is particularly well suited to recipes where you want a long-lasting flavour, such as a crème brûlée with cocoa and smoked vanilla, an Indonesian dark chocolate fondant, or a pork stew with vanilla and sweet spices. It is also perfect in savoury dishes such as sweet potato purée with vanilla or fish fillet with vanilla lime sauce. Vanilla powder is not only cheaper to use than a vanilla pod, it's also more practical, with a long shelf life and easy measuring with a spoon. Choosing a quality Indonesian vanilla powder like the one offered by Sambavanilla guarantees a 100% pure, powerful and authentic product that will make all the difference to your creations.
