Innovation & collaborative development
A project built around the desired result.
An adaptation or development starts with a defined need: flavour profile, form, incorporation or process constraints. We then review feasibility and the resources required with you.
A working approach defined with you.
Define the project scope
Scope, deliverables, responsibilities, confidentiality and development terms.
Formulate and test
Ingredient form selection, a prototype where relevant and evaluation in the application.
Assess the next steps
Adjustments, qualification and assessment of production and supply conditions.

A few pointers to prepare your first conversation.
What does Passion Vanille do in vanilla processing in Quebec?
Vanilla processing involves several stages. At the source, curing develops the beans’ aromatic character. In Quebec, Passion Vanille works on ingredient formulation and evaluation in professional recipes: commercially available vanilla paste, extracts and concentrates in development, and other forms under trial. The process and form depend on your application and desired result.
Are bean curing and ingredient formulation the same thing?
Curing turns the green fruit into cured vanilla, through stages such as scalding, sweating, drying and conditioning. Formulation then works with the raw material to offer a form suited to a recipe, such as paste, powder or extract. Passion Vanille presents ingredients and projects according to their actual commercial or development stage.
How do I choose between beans, powder, paste and extract?
The choice depends on the recipe, desired flavour profile, appearance, incorporation and process. We start with your application and current solution, then discuss available information and useful trials. Our in-house extracts remain in development.
