What you’ll find

What Plantation Vanille Roulof is known for

The Roulof family has hand-pollinated vanilla at Saint-André for over a century across four generations, and Maurice Roulof still leads the twice-daily visits himself. The workshop shows the pod's two-year journey from flower to fragrance, sold on the spot as pods and powder.
