Vanilla is an orchid Vanillia planifolia, whose cultivation requires constant attention and delicacy. It is a vine that leans on a support tree, usually a mango or avocado tree... It only blooms 3 years after planting and it takes another 8 months for the pod to ripen before harvesting. Its preparation is very tedious as it is entirely manual and requires a lot of rigor, patience, and love. The pods are first scalded, steamed, sun-dried for two weeks, flattened by hand, then dried in the shade for 8 months in trunks and finally calibrated.
Vanilla originates from Mexico, where the Aztecs used it to sweeten the bitterness of chocolate. This "black flower" was introduced by Cortés in 1521. Later, Louis XIV fell in love with it and wished to cultivate it on the island of Bourbon, Réunion. The vine flowered but bore no fruit because it needed to be pollinated by a wasp that only existed in Mexico. No one knew how to pollinate it until in 1850, Edmond, a young slave from the island of Bourbon, understood this process by pricking and shaking the flower. To thank him, he was freed and the young man took the name of freedom Albius in reference to the white color of the orchid.
