NOROHY Tahitian Vanilla Beans 18-20cm

NOROHY Tahitian Vanilla Beans are among the most prized and sought-after vanilla varieties in the world, grown in the lush islands of French Polynesia and celebrated for their extraordinary floral, cherry-like aroma and a flavour that is softer, more perfumed, and more complex than Bourbon vanilla. From Valrhona's NOROHY range, these 18-20cm plump, oily beans represent the finest Tahitian vanilla available to professional chefs.

Tahitian vanilla (Vanilla tahitensis) is a different species from the Planifolia beans used for Bourbon vanilla, and its flavour profile is strikingly different — delicate, floral, and perfumed, with notes of cherry, anise, and peach that make it a favourite for preparations where a more nuanced, aromatic vanilla is desired. It is particularly prized for delicate preparations where its floral character can fully express itself.

Key uses:

• Panna cotta and set creams — the floral notes shine in delicate dairy desserts
• Crème brûlée — a more complex, aromatic alternative to Bourbon vanilla
• White chocolate ganaches — the perfumed character complements white chocolate beautifully
• Ice creams and sorbets — an exotic, floral vanilla base
• Infusions and syrups — for cocktails, beverages, and delicate sauces
