Since 1946, PROVA’s history has been intimately linked with vanilla. Its first speciality, PROVA grew steadily through the years to become one of the major players in the vanilla extraction industry.

Inspired by a long tradition of myths and legends, vanilla continues to evoke desire and it is still one of the most popular and well-loved spices in the world.

PROVA’s vanilla beans are mainly sourced from Madagascar, one of the top producers of fine bourbon qualities. Comoros, Uganda, India, Papua New Guinea and Tahiti are among PROVA’s other sources of supply.
