INCA VALLEY / INCA CAO - Gastronomic metabolic friendly Chocolate

The name “Bourbon vanilla” is specific to vanilla produced in the Indian Ocean, and more particularly in Madagascar, the Comoros, the Seychelles, Reunion and Mauritius. This name comes from the name of the kings of France who reigned from 1589 to 1789, then from 1815 to 1848. These kings had given their name to Reunion Island, which was called ” Bourbon Island ” in 1642 when the French took possession of it. Bourbon Gold vanilla from Madagascar is a very beautiful product which seduces by its olfactory and gustatory qualities. It is appreciated for its cocoa and fruity notes and its pods, the result of a long maturing process in wooden trunks. For the record, the maturing process is the final stage in the cultivation of vanilla. It is at this time that the pod develops all its fragrances and aromas and is transformed into a luxury product.

Mexico is the land of origin of vanilla. It was the Totonaques (the Aztecs came later), an Amerindian people, who cultivated this magnificent product in the states of Vera Cruz and Puebla in particular. In the 16th century, their colonizers, the Spaniards, discovered vanilla and decided to export it to other colonies. Mexico is the land of origin of vanilla.

Kerala vanilla comes from the region of the same name in India. If it is a planifolia vanilla like the vast majority of vanilla in the world. India is a country more known for its various spices than for its vanilla,it is necessary to note that vanilla farmers make wonders here. The vanilla of Kerala is a very beautiful product which will seduce the person in a delicate way. Vanilla farming has brought back the smiles and success to a handful of farmers in Kerala at a time when prices of other plantation crops are moving down. The production in India has registered a 10 percent growth, touching around 40 tonnes, thanks to a conducive climate prevailing in producing regions.

The Comoros are made up of 4 islands Mayotte and three islands independent of France forming the Union of the Comoros (Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli). Grande Comore is a volcanic island. The island suffers from a severe lack of water, the volcanic rocks do not retain water and there is little source. The main economic resource is the cultivation of vanilla. Vanilla, introduced in the Comoros before the 1930s, is cultivated on the four islands in a traditional way. This capricious orchid offers a beautiful cluster flower. Fertilization is carried out manually by women at dawn. A good worker “marries” 1000 to 1500 vanilla flowers per day. During the harvesting time, one picks pod by pod, to the precise degree of “technical maturation”, just before CHOCOLATE WITH SWEETENERS cocoa beans, cocoa butter, sweeteners inositol, erythritol, ribose, collagen, octanoic acid (coconut mct), vanilla pods (1%), sweetener thaumatin (katemfe fruit).

This Tahitensis vanilla is the same species as the one found in French Polynesia. A singular aroma, so different from the others. A complex nose that starts with spicy notes, followed by floral, leather and earthy notes. Sourcing is difficult because the quality of the batches varies from one producer to another. Today, in the communities of the Sepik region, many people grow vanilla. The income generated by this activity allows the communities to build schools, hire teachers and repair bush roads. The community system allows for a more fluid management of the vanilla plantations but also for a better use of this new village economy.

For the past hundred years, almost all of the thousand Polynesian Vanilla growers have no longer prepared their own vanillas (drying); they pick them and sell them to the few preparers active in the territory. The result is that each preparer obtains vanilla from at least one hundred planters spread out over the entire archipelago. All of the vanilla from the various plantations and islands are thus mixed together and prepared at the same time. Once the notion of terroir was abandoned, the vanillas were no longer distinguishable. Only fruit which has reached full maturity(dark brown color) is selected, a selection process identical to that used with grapes for “Vendanges Tardives ” and the “Sélections grains nobles” fines Alsace wines. This very late harvesting process, unique in Polynesia, makes it possible to enhance the taste and aromatic qualities of Tahitian Vanilla.

10% Caprylic acid (C8) derived from coconut other than long chain fatty acids, MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides) bypass the gastrointestinal tract completely and go straight to the liver for ketone production. It’s also called ‘the glucose of the fats’. There are eleven different fatty acids in coconut. Four of them are MCT’s Caproic acid ( C6), Caprylic acid (C8), Capric acid (C10) and Lauric acid(C12). C12 is technically an MCT but the body processes it like a long chain fatty acid. While fasting or eating a fasting mimicking diet like a low carbohydrate or ketodiet the body becomes catabolic (breakdown) and will naturally start to create ketone bodies in the liver. There are 3 main types of ketone bodies First the body will make Acetoacetate ( AcAc), it will then turn it into the Betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) and when there is enough BHB the rest will explode into Acetone which we exhale or urinate.

It’s also called ‘the glucose of the fats’ 10% Collagen after water, collagen is the most abundant nutrient in the body. It makes up 35% of the whole body protein content. After the age of 25 we reduce the production of our own collagen, therefore exogenous collagen is so critical for longevity. It is needed for bile production ( 33% glycine) to metabolise fat, and increases skin elasticity and repair. Your bones are 60% minerals, but 90% of the protein matrix in your bones is collagen. Our diet lacks collagen because today we mainly eat muscle meat that is high in an amino acid methionine and low in glycine. To counteract Methionine, glycine is needed. Collagen is rich in Glycine, proline, hydroxyproline amino acids.
