Bienvenue au Pérou et dans une toute nouvelle espèce de gousse de vanille. Cette belle gousse de vanille de catégorie A du nord du Pérou est une gousse Pompona, ce qui signifie plusieurs choses. Premièrement, c'est gros... vraiment gros. Juste 2-3 haricots/oz normalement. Deuxièmement, il s’agit probablement de la première gousse de vanille au monde. En effet, le populaire haricot Planifolia est aujourd'hui devenu plus populaire en raison de sa capacité à être transporté et cultivé dans de nouvelles régions, tandis que le Pompona n'a pas traversé les frontières mondiales aussi rapidement. La plupart des régions de culture sont les régions de culture indigènes de cette espèce de haricot, à savoir le sud du Mexique jusqu'aux régions du nord de l'Amérique du Sud. Enfin, compte tenu de sa taille, c'est la seule gousse de vanille qui est encore souvent pollinisée naturellement par les abeilles, puisque les orchidées sont suffisamment grosses pour qu'une abeille puisse se déplacer à l'intérieur.

L'espèce de gousse de vanille Pompona a un goût et un arôme totalement différents de ceux des vanilles Planifolia et Tahitensis traditionnelles, mais elle appartient toujours à la famille des gousses de vanille, son parfum principal vous sera donc familier. Il présentera une base de vanille audacieuse et classique, mais il y aura des notes plus fortes de fruits secs comme les figues, les raisins secs et, est-ce un soupçon de banane ? Vous noterez également la présence de mélasse, de caramel et peut-être d'un subtil parfum de café/moka. C'est vraiment une expérience de saveur et d'arôme à elle seule.

Ces gousses de vanille ne sont pas aussi prolifiques que les gousses Planifolia et Tahitensis, bien connues dans le commerce. Elles ne fleurissent pas autant que les orchidées, mettent plus de temps à mûrir, leur taille les rend plus difficiles à cultiver en quantité, leur offre mondiale est donc très faible. En tant que tel, le prix des gousses de vanille Pompona entières de qualité A est extrêmement élevé.

Après des mois (voire des années) d'extraction, votre extrait de vanille Rioja Pompona fini présentera un fort arôme de vanille avec des nuances terreuses et riches de mélasse, de figues, de fruits secs et, bien sûr, une saveur de vanille douce et audacieuse. C'est un bel extrait à ajouter à votre arsenal culinaire avec des applications dans les tartes, les tartelettes, les pains aux fruits comme le pain aux bananes, les pains aux courgettes, les petits pains à l'orange, les épices à la citrouille et pour une touche piquante dans les gâteaux traditionnels, les biscuits et plus encore.
Nos gousses de vanille péruvienne Rioja sont très grasses et riches en vanilline. Ils sont gros, généralement entre 5 et 8 pouces de long et ont une couleur brun foncé. Il peut y avoir seulement 2 à 3 haricots par once et, dans de rares cas, seulement 1 haricot par once.
Les gousses de vanille VanillaPura sont toutes expédiées sous vide pour plus de fraîcheur et doivent être conservées non réfrigérées dans un endroit frais, sec et sombre.
I had one ounce of the Rioja and put them in New Amsterdam Vodka in August of 24. The color of the extract is very dark and it's rich. I tasted a few drops on some sugar and the flavor is wonderful! You get that nice vanilla flavor with fruitiness. I tasted raisins and something on the back of my tongue that reminded me of a hint of licorice. I definitely can't wait to try this extract in either sugar cookies or crepes to see what flavors come out in my baking. This extract and will definitely go into my private stock that will only be shared in the treats that I make with it.
While first underwhelmed by the Riojas (the beans seemed drier than others) I 100% reverse my opinion within the first 3 months of the extraction process. The Riojas are my favorite by far. The scent and color from Riojas is already amazing, far more vanilla aroma than alcohol. Can't wait for the finished extract in ~a year!

These beans are huge and I’m sure will make a wonderful extract. I put them in Skyy vodka. I got them as part of the VP club. I was surprised that they were dry though for such a pricey bean. No oils in my fingers at all.
Thanks for the great review! The size of the Rioja bean along with the makeup of the outer skin makes them often more dry externally, but rest assured they are full of sweet oils and will make a delicious extract. Thanks for mentioning this important point.
I love these big fat beans
The look was good, as its a long time brew Im planning. So ask me in about 12 months. Thank you for this oppertunity.
Very nice beans
These beans were huge! There were three beans in my one ounce package and as always, they were oily and fragrant. I used Kirk and Sweeny rum as a splurge to see how it would turn out.
I love the size and flavor of these beans, I have ordered them several times.
These beans are huge! And they have so much residue on them the vodka turned light brown right away! It looks like iced tea after 4 days! I cant wait till its ready!
They are great! They seemed to be dry and stiff when I opened them. I did ask on the site about it and was assured they would be fine. OMG! I sent them swimming in white rum, white coconut rum to be exact. A couple of days later when I was shaking the bottle I was shocked at how dark the extract was. It smells wonderful!
My sister and I are extremely happy with our Rioja beans! I bought a two ounce portion and gave my sister one ounce. They were gigantic, oily and seemed loaded with caviar. I got mine into brandy right away and Aggy is using rum. We can’t wait to compare our final extracts! Thank you VanillaPura for a fine, quality product!
Beautiful, fragrant ,very plumb, oily
Perfect vanilla beans, 3-4 to an ounce!!
These beans are huge and they are covered in rum. I enjoy the extract they made with vodka so now I'm trying rum. Can't wait to try it.
Great beans. The smell is outstanding.
These beans are incredible. I expected something larger than the Tahitian, Ecuadorian, Ugandan and Madasgascan and these did not disappoint. Three very large, impressive beans, with a very dark oil compared to others aswell. My only complaint, coming from someone who also works retail/sells products by weight, my beans were not 28g/1oz. 26.8g may not seem far off, but when dealing with $50+ per oz, that's a little unacceptable in my honest opinion. In my world, I'd do my best to get spot on and if that isn't possible, then you go slightly over. But you *never* short the customer....
Thanks for the honest review! Our apologies for being under weight. We guarantee weights always - so send us an email at support@vanillapura.com and we'll make it right. Sometimes, with the real oily beans, some weight from the oils is left in the pouch which makes up the difference. Also, make sure your home scales are calibrated correctly by doing a comparison of another product where you are certain of the weight. And we couldn't agree more that you NEVER short the customer. We actually fill all of our bean pouches over weight and we calibrate our scales every 4 hours to make sure they are correct. Here's a helpful article to make sure bean weights are accurate. Thanks again for your feedback! We appreciate it! https://www.vanillapura.com/pages/how-to-weigh-my-vanilla-beans
So plump! once shipped, it went quickly!
My Riojas in Members Mark Vodka is just about finished ( @ 10 months so far ) and I tested it in some cream cheese and vanilla sugar and a healthy table spoon of extract for a spread! This is my absolute FAVORITE by far. I can't make up my mind between candy flavored or marshmallows or creamy nougat. Absolutely the best vanilla ever! So scrumptious! These are fabulous beans!! Biggest I've come across!! Can't wait to get a new order and extract in some white rum next!
When I opened the package I could not get over the size of these beans. They were as big as my fingers. I was so afraid to cut them to get them into the bottle. I sliced one of the beans to let the caviar float around. The color of the Rum started to change in a half hour. The molasses, fig and dried fruit will taste great in breads and cupcakes.
These beans are so super soft and pliable and full of caviar. The smell is amazing. I swam them in Bacardi this time for a sweet taste. Will order more asap. Three beans equal 1 oz. What can I say! Dried fig and rasin. Molasses, caramel coffee/mocha sent! What is NOT to love about these huge beans.
These beans are huge, got 3 beans in an oz. 2 very large ones and one a bit thinner. I split the thin one to have a look at the caviar and was amazed by the smell. I put these in vodka first and by the time I finished with all my beans the extract already had a nice color to it. Very good beans and well worth it
I am so pleased VanillaPura offered a pompona bean, as I've never tried that species. I was amazed. There were two huge beans, and a small one in an ounce. They were thick like a cigar. I cut into it, thinking it would be loaded with a ton of caviar, but was surprised that it had a typical amount. The walls of the beans were just that thick! They smell delightful with a raisin, date, vanilla aroma. Just outstanding.
