Vanilla Planifolia from Mexico is the "mother" of the world's vanilla since vanilla Planifolia specie is cultivated for commercial purpose. For purists, this is the original vanilla. Pods are thin and more or less brownish to black quality, glossy light brown vanilla pods. Relatively flat pods that are a little less fleshy but with a wider aromatic palette. Notes are strongly chocolaty, warm and powerful yet subtle, persistent, and spicy in the background, also it develop base notes of red fruits and currants. This vanilla terroir has the most diverse and subtle flavours among the Planifolia specie. Like the Tahitensis, it is a vanilla for discerning gourmets.
