The Cribbiana vanilla, also called "Chesibik" in Maya language, is one of the rarest and most surprising of all vanillas. Like the Pompona and the Chamissonis, the Cribbiana belongs to a completely different specie from the Planifolia or the Tahitensis cross which are also derived from the Mexican planifolia. It is said that if the Europeans had encountered the Mayas rather than the Totonacs, it would possibly be the one that would be used the most in the world because of its huge gastronomic potential! The pods are short, thick and loaded with caviar, with a floral fragrance and powerful notes of Coumarin-like, cedarwood, caramel, coffee, anise, and offer a very appetizing and versatile bouquet of mysterious and exotic flavors. Results from HPLC-DAD and GC-MS analyses indicate that the aromatic profile of V. cribbiana Soto Arenas is a combination of the V. planifolia, V. × tahitensis, and V. pompona profiles. The content of vanillyl compounds is higher than in V. × tahitensis and V. pompona, while the content of anisyl compounds is greater than in V. planifolia. Seventy compounds were identified using GC-MS. Oleic acid was the dominant fatty acid, and together with linoleic acid, these two represented over 82% of the fatty acids in V. cribbiana vanilla.Both in pastry and savory dishes, it invites you on a new gastronomic journey with each of your creations.
The quantities produced tend to increase as it is an authentic endemic specie of the Guatemalan terroir in full development.
