For professionals

Bulk, graded to the centimetre

A bean sells by its length. We measure to the centimetre, then every bundle joins a numbered lot that ships with its analyses.

From our plots in the SAVA to your laboratory
Three generations, one promise

From our plots in the SAVA to your laboratory

Vanille Désiré is a family business across three generations and two countries. The fieldwork is carried out in Sambava, at the heart of the SAVA which produces close to 80 % of the world's vanilla, by our own family structure, straight from the plots, with no auction.

The French arm, in Bessan, contracts, invoices and coordinates logistics. The same family answers for every kilogram, from hand pollination through to the invoice.

Do you provide an invoice with VAT and the quality documents?
