🌿 Reunion Island Vanilla as You've Never Seen It Before | A Visit to the Leichnig Family (Ti Planterre)
Do you really know where Reunion Island vanilla comes from? 🇷🇪
In this report, I travel to Saint-Philippe, in the wild south of the island, to meet the Leichnig family, vanilla producers from father to son since 1985. Their vanilla plantation grows in the undergrowth, deep in the forest, on the slopes of Piton de la Fournaise. A unique setting for a demanding crop, still relatively unknown to the general public.
Through this immersive experience, you'll discover:
🌱 How vanilla grows in agroforestry systems, under the trees
🖐️ The manual work involved, from flower to pod
🔥 The processing steps that give vanilla its distinctive aroma
🏆 What makes Bourbon vanilla from Réunion Island (PGI, organic) so special
❄️ The secret of frosted vanilla, one of the rarest in the world
A pioneer of organic farming in Réunion, Maison Louis Leichnig embodies a know-how passed down through generations, fueled by passion and immense patience. A true story of family and Réunion's terroir.

The expertise is passed down from father to son, and he has been a pioneer of organic farming in Réunion since 2003. His vanilla bears the IGP Vanilla of Réunion and Organic Farming certifications.

Mais t'es bien Réunionnais nan ?
PS : son explication étrange. 9:07 : "À l'époque c'était une petite abeille qui faisait la fécondation des fleurs"
C'est pas une question "d'époque" mais une question de zone géographique. Il n'y a qu'une région dans le monde où la vanille est fécondée naturellement : au Mexique par la "mélipone" , une abeille qui ne se trouve que là bas, la seule à la féconder de manière efficace et habituelle.
La trouvaille de Edmond Albius a permis d'industrialiser la méthode et de permettre la production de vanille en dehors de cette zone géographique.
