Welcome to La Villa Michaëlla, passionate producer of Madagascar Tahifolia vanilla, a unique hybrid born from the encounter between Vanilla Planifolia and Vanilla Tahitensis. Through our flagship product, the Madagascar Vanilla Nectar (pure or cristallized) Made from Tahifolia Vanilla, we reveal the essence of an exceptional terroir, combining tradition, science and sustainability. Our mission is simple: reveal all the aromatic richness of vanilla while preserving Madagascar's heritage and offering innovation that redefines quality standards.
Our History
The adventure of La Villa Michaëlla has its roots in 43 years of scientific research (1952–1995) conducted by IRAT and FOFIFA. The work of researchers such as Roland Théodose as well as Nany Fleuron have made it possible to develop, after decades of experimentation, hybrids capable of offering an unequalled aromatic intensity, Tahifolia vanilla, the fruit of the marriage between Vanilla Planifolia and the Vanilla Tahitensis.
Guided by mentors like Nany Fleuron, a pioneer of hybridization, we have pursued this approach with passion, placing applied research and artisanal rigor at the heart of our identity.
Today, Madagascar is recognized by AUST HACHMANN as the heart of the global vanilla trade, and we are proud to contribute to this by offering superior quality, from a controlled local sector
Our know-how
Every vanilla bean we prepare is a testament to the balance between scientific rigor and traditional gestures.
1. Our artisans open and refine each pod with precision inherited from several generations.
2. Our researchers test the aromatic persistence after cooking and the evolution of aromas over time.
3. Our exclusive innovation, the system All-Protect, guarantees long-term conservation, without artifice, simply thanks to science and respect for the product.
We offer two versions of this treasure:
1. Pure Vanilla Nectar Tahifolia, powerful and persistent.
2. Crystallized Vanilla Nectar Tahifolia, enhanced by its natural vanillin crystals, which are revealed once decrystallized
Our Values
At La Villa Michaëlla, our choices are based on four pillars:
1. Authenticity : 100% natural vanilla, prepared without compromise.
2. Innovation : over 40 years of research and patented preservation technology.
3. Sustainability : an ethical, traceable sector that respects planters and biodiversity.
4. Transmission : train the new generation of artisans and ensure the sustainability of unique Malagasy know-how.
At La Villa Michaëlla, we believe that Tahifolia vanilla is more than a spice: it is a culture, identity and lasting commitment.
Our Vision
We believe that the Tahifolia vanilla, the Planifolia-Tahitensis hybrid represents the future of world gastronomy.
Our ambition is clear: to become a world reference for chefs, pastry chefs and artisans looking for a stable, expressive and long-lasting vanilla.
From Madagascar to the most prestigious cuisines, La Villa Michaëlla embodies the meeting between tradition, science and gastronomy
