Krydder • Vanilje
Vanilla is Mexico's gift to the world!, When the spanish explorer Hernan Cortez first met the Emperor Moctezuma, during a relious ceremony, Cortez was offered a very exotic and original drink "Xocohotl" the drink was basically Chocolate and Vanilla. Cortez was so impressed that he returned to Spain with a supply of vanilla to add this special flavor and fragance to the palate of the Spanish King. For the ensuing 300 years, Mexican vanilla was trasplanted to different tropical zones throughout the world, without succes. Was a mistery to the world until 1836, When a Frenchman observing very closely the vanilla plant, in Mexico discovered the reason. Each of the orchid blooms was visited by the small "Melipone" bee, pollinazation produced the fruit! only in Mexico is the MELIPONE BEE found. Since this discovery Mexican Vanilla has been produced in other tropical parts of the world, but only through artificial pollination. This is the reason why Mexican Vanilla is hard to find and has a unique aroma.
