Growing, preparing, maturing: rare vanillas from Madagascar brought to their full aromatic expression

3 varieties, more than 10 aromatic references

Madagascar holds an exceptional biodiversity, living soils and a multitude of terroirs that give each vanilla a particular expression. ANTOKALY works this richness with precision, from the agroforestry plot to maturation, to reveal rare vanillas, expressive and suited to demanding uses.

Our mission is to bring the world the very best of Madagascar and to guide culinary professionals to the aromatic signature that matches their recipes.

Planifolia, Tahitensis, Pompona: each variety carries its own structure, texture and aromatic direction. These essential and complementary steps elevate this magnificent spice.

In our Malagasy rosewood chests, each lot is tended month after month. Wood, time and sensory evaluation together shape the ANTOKALY signature, respecting the individual expression of each vanilla. It is from this maturation that the depth professionals recognise in our vanillas is born.

The criteria the hand looks for on a sorting table are old. Plump, supple, even, with black and glossy seed, wrote a Paris druggist in 1694.

Each recipe has its own aromatic signature and our different terroirs allow us to guide you even towards unexpected pairings.
