Get ready to spice up your baked goods!
How is Bourbon vanilla powder made?
Vanilla is one of the most expensive spices there is. This is because its production is a rather complex process. Bourbon vanilla grows only on the islands of Madagascar, the Comoros, La Réunion, the Seychelles and Mauritius – also known as Bourbon islands. In these areas vanilla grows under extremely tough conditions. In its region of origin, Central America, the plants are pollinated by hummingbirds. In Madagascar, where KoRo's Bourbon vanilla is from, those little natural helpers are missing, which is why the vanilla plants are gently pollinated by hand by the farmers. Yes thats right – the vanilla farmer walks from flower to flower with a bamboo stick and carries the pollen! The vanilla beans are then carefully sorted and fermented after harvesting. This gives them their typical black-brown colour.
All things vanilla: powder, extract, pods
At Koro we only want the best vanilla powder for you, which is why we chose Bourbon vanilla powder over regular vanilla powder. If you are, however, searching for an alternative you have also come to the right place. We offer all kinds of vanilla products, such as organic vanilla flavoured coffee, Bourbon vanilla pods, and our delicate Bourbon vanilla sugar. All these vanilla products are, just as our powder, perfect for baking and replacing vanilla extract. Want to spice up your sports game but crave the sweet taste of vanilla? No problem! Discover our various vanilla protein bars and our vegan vanilla protein powder!
Ground Bourbon vanilla from KoRo
Our Bourbon vanilla is ground so that it is ready to use – whether for baking, for refining desserts, or for making tasty classics such as vanilla pudding, vanilla ice cream, vanilla curd and vanilla croissants! The powder can even be sprinkled over your iced coffee, hot chocolate, smoothies and to bake really refreshing summery cakes. Even though we associate vanilla with sweet taste, it does not taste sweet on its own. To achieve the typical vanilla flavour of your childhood, you don't necessarily have to combine vanilla with sugar, but you can also use xylitol or erythritol instead. Have fun exploring the vanilla-verse!

Varieties & origins
Bourbon Vanille
Die Hauptart der Vanille ist die Gewürzvanille, die Dir bestimmt unter dem Bourbon Vanilla
In 2017, over 8 million tons of vanilla were produced worldwide, 95% of which was Bourbon vanilla. Madagascar leads the world production with about 3.2 million tons per year. The optimum planting period for vanilla orchids is between September and November. After three years the vanilla orchids bear flowers for the first time, which are then pollinated by hand. The vanilla farmers must always be vigilant in their search for new flowers, as they only bloom for one day. So if pollination does not take place within 24 hours, the flower withers and no capsule fruit is produced.
Production
Ursprünglich kommt Gewürzvanille aus Mexiko, wird aber auch in anderen tropischen Regionen angebaut, insbesondere Madagaskar und den benachbarten Inseln.
Die Vanillepflanze Vanilla planifolia gehört zur Gattung der Orchideen und rankt im Urwald an Bäumen empor. Die Pflanze blüht erst 9 Monate nach Bestäubung, und aus den cremegelben Blüten wachsen die Schoten.
Im August können die reifen Bourbon-Vanilleschoten geerntet werden. Dafür wird jede Schote einzeln geprüft und von Hand von der Pflanze getrennt.
Um den Namen Bourbon-Vanille tragen zu dürfen, muss die Vanille von den so genannten Bourbon-Inseln (Madagaskar, Komoren, Réunion, Seychellen und Mauritius) stammen. Die Insel La Réunion hieß früher „Île Bourbon“, daher der Name. Bourbon-Vanille wird daher französisch ausgesprochen, im Gegensatz zum Bourbon-Whisky, der englisch ausgesprochen wird.
Mit Schoten sind eigentlich die Samenkapseln der Bourbon-Vanille gemeint. Diese sind bei ihrer Ernte ungenießbar. Sie werden erst durch die sogenannte Schwarzbrennung zu leckerer Vanille. Zuerst werden dafür die Samenkapseln mit heißem Wasser behandelt und dann bis zu vier Wochen lang in luftdichten Behältern fermentiert, wodurch das geschmacksgebende Vanillin entsteht.
Fernsehköche kratzen die Schoten meist aus, dabei enthält die Kapselfrucht mehr Aroma als der Inhalt. Um Dir den vollen Geschmack zu bieten und Dir zuhause die Verwendung der Vanille zu vereinfachen, kannst Du bei uns gemahlene Bourbon-Vanille kaufen.

All data without guarantee!
Our Bourbon vanilla powder is naturally free of gluten. However, depending on the growing area, contamination with gluten can occur during harvesting or processing. Our motto is: safety first! That is why we do not advertise out fine Bourbon vanilla powder to you as gluten-free.
The cultivation and care of vanilla are costly and the production of vanilla powder is lengthy. Therefore, vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world, right after saffron. Vanilla is traded on the stock exchange and regularly makes headlines with its price development, for example when its price exceeds that of silver! This makes grandma's vanilla crescents seem much more luxurious, doesn't it?
Our Bourbon vanilla powder may only be called so because it is grown on Madagascar. There are other growing areas besides Madagascar, such as all the Bourbon Islands and Mexico.
Vanilla causes minor symptoms in histamine intolerance. The occasional consumption of small amounts is often tolerated without problems.
While vanilla flavouring may be produced entirely chemically-synthetically, vanilla extract and natural vanilla flavouring must contain components of real vanilla, and products called "vanilla powder" must consist of 100% ground vanilla beans.
Vanilla powder is per se not toxic to dogs in small amounts, but is usually found in milk ice cream in combination with lactose, which can cause diarrhoea. If you have any questions about it, we recommend that you seek advise from your veterinarian.
Since vanilla has a very intense flavour, we recommend using half a teaspoon of vanilla powder for 500 g of mass (e.g. cake dough or ice cream).
Most of the flavours are in the shell of the vanilla, which unfortunately often ends up discarded. To make the bourbon vanilla powder, whole vanilla beans are ground for this purpose.
Our ground bourbon vanilla is 100% vanilla, with no other additives or flavourings.
At room temperature and in a place protected from light, our vanilla powder can be kept for up to 12 months.
You may indulge that sudden, strange craving for vanilla ice cream during pregnancy, because eating natural vanilla during pregnancy is safe for your health and that of your baby. Just be careful with high sugar foods!
