One of the rarest vanillas in the world, also grown in Veracruz. Vanilla pompona is a different species from planifolia, and its pods are among the biggest and thickest you’ll ever see.
It is intensely aromatic, fruity and almost wine-like, with layers of complexity that chefs love to build a dish around.
