Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is vanilla caviar?

Vanilla caviar refers exclusively to the tiny black, moist grains found inside the vanilla pod. Our caviar is obtained by splitting and hand-scraping Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla pods. It is a 100% natural, raw product, containing nothing but the seeds and their essential oils.

What is the difference between vanilla caviar, extract and paste?

The difference is fundamental. Extract is a liquid product based on alcohol. Vanilla paste is often an industrial blend containing sugar, water and thickeners (such as gum tragacanth). Vanilla caviar is pure. It contains no sugar or binders, which guarantees the spice's authentic aroma without altering the texture or sugar content of your recipes.

What is the equivalence between caviar and a whole vanilla pod?

As caviar is the concentrated aromatic heart of the spice, it is very powerful. As a general rule, half a teaspoon (around 2 grams) of vanilla caviar generously replaces the seeds of a whole, fine Madagascar pod. It is an extremely economical format for regular cooks.

How do I use vanilla caviar in pastry-making?

It is ready to use and blends in instantly, with no need for prior infusion. It is superb in cold or whipped preparations, such as whipped cream, ice cream, whipped ganaches or glazes. Beyond its explosive aroma, it instantly delivers the great chefs' "visual signature" with its thousands of tiny black flecks.

How do I store my jar of vanilla caviar once opened?

Caviar is a naturally moist product thanks to its own essential oils. To stop it drying out, always close the jar carefully after each use. Store it in a dry place, away from light and heat (between 15°C and 20°C). As with the pods, we strongly advise against storing it in the fridge.

Madagascar's Black Gold: Extracting Bourbon Vanilla Caviar

Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Caviar is not a processed product, it is the spice in its purest and noblest form. At the heart of every Vanilla Planifolia pod lie millions of tiny black grains, steeped in an intensely fragrant natural essential oil.

To produce a single jar of this exceptional caviar, dozens of pods matured under the SAVA sun must be split and meticulously hand-scraped. This painstaking craftsmanship isolates purely the orchid's aromatic matrix. The result is a pure concentrate of vanilla grains, deep black in colour, which instantly delivers intense notes of candied fruit and warm cocoa the moment it touches your preparations.
