At V comme Vanille, we bring the story of vanilla to your kitchen, workspace, laboratory or shop, via oceans and jungles.
We adhere to a plant-to-market philosophy, working with producers who respect the temporality and seasonality of this delicate, heady spice. We do what it takes to bring the finest beans to you.
We care about the planet, the people and the product.
By giving the vanilla pod the respect it needs, we create an opportunity for the development of the native communities that grow it.
It is important to us to preserve these pristine locations, connecting small-scale producers with the wider vanilla community, including chefs, perfumers and retailers. We aim to create partners in ethical trading while creating bonds which raise awareness of traditions, regional differences and elusive elements that are so often overlooked.

She is passionate about food, culture, and historical values.
