Universal tips

Using vanilla properly is an art. Here are our universal tips for unlocking the Tahifolia aroma without any loss, when combined with our Tahifolia vanilla recipes.

🔥 Heat: the key to aromas

Vanilla and Nectar fully reveal their aromas only when in contact with heat.
👉Heat them gently with a little milk, oil or water.
⚠️ Do not boil, as this may cause the aromas to lose their character.
👉Then let it infuse between 15 and 30 minutes, the time for the preparation to cool and the flavors to set.
👉 This step allows you to choose the right aromatic intensity according to your recipe.
👉 The only exception: butter, which naturally develops vanilla aromas even without prior heating.

🛡️ Optimal conservation: simplicity and reliability

Many vanilla lovers become discouraged: after a few months, their pods become as hard as wood and lose all aroma, especially the precious caviar. Some try makeshift solutions (freezing, alcohol, oils, etc.), with mixed results.
👉 With our containers equipped with the system All Protect, these worries disappear.
✔ Simply take the required amount of Nectar or vanilla.
✔Carefully close the jar.
✔ Put it back in your kitchen cupboard, without any special precautions.
The All Protect system (patent pending) acts as a natural shield against oxidation, drying out and loss of aroma.
✔Result: your vanilla retains all its freshness, suppleness and aromatic intensity well beyond a year.

❄️ Why decrystallize Frosted Nectar?

In their natural state, Nectar Pur and Nectar Givré express their aromas and flavors in different ways:
Pure Nectar → powerful, concentrated aroma, but “narrower” in its aromatic palette
Crystallized Nectar → more subtle aroma, broader in its nuances, but of lesser intensity. In terms of taste, it is generally perceived as more pleasant.
👉 Used as is, only the most discerning palates fully appreciate the elegance of Frosted Nectar. Most naturally opt for the strength of Pure Nectar.
This is where the decrystallization is useful :
✔ This process allows the crystallized Nectar to release a exceptional aromatic amplitude, while strengthening its intensity.
✔ In the kitchen, it doesn't just add a flavor → it fully participates in the recipe, enhancing existing flavors.
In a word, decrystallization gives Crystallized Nectar all its nobility, revealing vanilla in its richest expression, both aromatic and gustatory.

🌿 Essential tip: reveal the vanilla before the recipe

In most recipes, vanilla is added as just another ingredient. As a result, its flavor is lost and remains discreet.
👉 To fully release its aromas, simply pre-infuse the vanilla or Nectar into a liquid ingredient in the recipe : a little milk, oil or water.
✔Heat gently (without boiling).
✔Let it infuse then cool.
✔Then continue the recipe using this flavored liquid.
Concrete example: for a vanilla vinaigrette, instead of adding the Nectar directly, infuse it in a few spoonfuls of oil, let it cool, then add this fragrant oil to the recipe. The vanilla taste then becomes clear, persistent and harmonious.

👉 In summary: Do not add “raw” vanilla to a recipe, but reveal it in a conductive ingredient (milk, oil, water), before continuing the preparation.
