A life dedicated to sweet and savoury gastronomy. Pierre de Chalais discovered Madagascar, the Vanilla Island, a dozen years ago. After many trips to Madagascar, he wove links with the entire Vanilla industry of this island in the Indian Ocean. Together with two other associates, they have almost 90 years of experience in the Vanilla industry. Today, under the aegis of Premium Chef and through its Vanilles Expert division, a whole team is committed daily to an exceptional industry. Producers, collectors, and preparers work together to sublimate the fruit of this orchid.

The team has worked specifically on the Vanilla refining process with the objective of optimizing and guaranteeing a unique aromatic consistency, a strong aromatic signature, highly prized by professionals.

Premium Chef-Vanille Expert also strives to contribute to the stability of the industry by supporting local associations and players. The organic selection has its rightful place.

Pierre de Chalais, an Expert Jury member for the Concours Général Agricole, also sources the best pods from Tahiti, India, Papua New Guinea, Mexico, Reunion Island, and Indonesia, and thus has access to the best selections.
