Intense flavour

To add a touch of exoticism and indulgence to your culinary creations, nothing beats our vanilla and vanilla sugars.

La Patelière offers a comprehensive range of premium ingredients from vanilla beans to extracts and flavourings, including vanilla paste and other sweet spices like Tonka beans.

Our vanilla beans, Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar or from Papua New Guinea, are our star ingredients, and are rigorously selected for their outstanding, delicate yet intense flavour.  As well as vanilla beans, we also offer high-quality vanilla extracts to add an intense flavour to your bakes.

Whether you’re a novice or a more experienced baker, give free rein to your creativity and take your recipes to the next level thanks to the power of vanilla in all its forms!

Our benefits

Unique know-how

At La Patelière, we have been expertly extracting vanilla since 1981. From the beans, we create our own extracts and macerates to make our own vanilla sugars.

We are proud of the expertise that sets us apart from other producers.

Quality first

To offer the very best vanilla, we only use Bourbon Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) from Madagascar — the birthplace of vanilla — which has intense woody notes.

We also use Papua New Guinea vanilla (Vanilla tahitensis), which enjoys more floral, delicate notes.

Used in a wide range of recipes and to flavour creams, cakes and pancakes, the queen of spices, AKA the vanilla pod, also has a strong emotional pull. Some even say that the French love it more than chocolate!

Short on time to rustle up a dessert to serve to your guests or bring to a birthday party? Use vanilla sugar in your madeleines, cream-based desserts and tarts for a natural vanilla flavour in an instant.

And for the more adventurous among you, why not try our Tonka beans? Native to Brazil, this sweet spice has a powerful, unique flavour with hints of vanilla, caramel and almond. Grate it directly into your recipes — crème brûlée, panna cotta, shortbread, apple pie and even your hot chocolate — for an explosion of flavour.
