La vanille : un goût qui vient de loin
Parmi les quelques 20 000 espèces d'orchidées qui existent à travers le monde, la vanille est la seule à produire un fruit exploité par l'homme : la fameuse gousse aux parfums si délicats. Fred, Jamy et Sabine sont à la Réunion et nous racontent tout sur la délicate culture de la vanille. Nous découvrons avec eux le travail des " marieuses " - qui ne disposent que de quelques heures pour féconder une à une des centaines de fleurs fragiles et éphémères, ainsi que toutes les étapes du séchage et de la fermentation qui, durant neuf mois, laisseront se développer les subtils arômes du fruit. Comment la vanille est-elle passée du Mexique à l'Océan Indien ? Comment une petite abeille mexicaine peut-elle assurer la fécondation de la fleur ? Comment fonctionne la pollinisation artificielle ? Comment la gousse se développe-t-elle ? Comment le chauffage du fruit va-t-il en dégager les arômes ? Quel est le cocktail d'arômes qui caractérise la vanille naturelle ?
