Fleeting bloom
The vine flowers once a year. Each flower opens for a single morning: everything is decided in a few hours.
BLACK GOLD
PLANIFOLIA VANILLA FROM MADAGASCAR
Our Craft
A demanding method, designed to deliver a vanilla that is expressive and ready to work with straight away.
Hand pollination
Flower after flower, by hand, at dawn. This gesture inherited from SAVA planters governs every aroma to come.
Ripening on the vine
For nine months the pod ripens where it grew, under the shade of the forest, at the slow pace that makes its richness.
Hand selection
At harvest, every lot is sorted pod by pod to keep only the most consistent aromatic profiles.
Traditional scalding
A timed hot bath, in wicker baskets, halts the pod and releases the precursors of vanillin.
Curing & certified vanillin
Slow curing in trunks develops roundness and length on the palate; analytical testing guarantees a rate of ≥ 2%.

Why great chefs choose LOVA
Our commitments, designed for professionals who treat vanilla as a signature ingredient.
01
Exceptional vanillin content
Pure aromatic notes, selected with rigour, made to elevate haute pâtisserie, chocolate work and the most prestigious creations.
02
A craft passed down
The gestures of the SAVA are handed down from one generation to the next: pollination at dawn, scalding in wicker baskets, curing in trunks. We follow every pod from the vine to the plate, faithful to the values of the region.
03
As close as possible to the source
We work directly with the planters of the SAVA. That closeness lets us choose the pods one by one and bring them intact to your creations, to elevate them.
04
Proven pod by pod
Every lot is checked by our own hands, pod by pod, before it leaves the house. Nine months of ripening on the vine and long months of curing rest on that final gesture.
