Our Story

From Orchid to Essence

Livanille proudly brings BorBon’s excellence to France & Europe - ethically sourced vanilla, crafted with science, tradition and soul. From tropical blooms to your creations, every step honors purity, people, and planet.

About Us

Under the tropical sun of Madagascar and Uganda, delicate vanilla orchids bloom, nurtured by family-owned farms who carry generations of knowledge in their hands. Here, every pod is more than a crop-it is a story of heritage, care, and devotion.

Through 7,000+ acres of contract farming, BorBon empowers farmers with fair-trade practices, ensuring steady incomes, sustainable methods, and respect for biodiversity. For us, vanilla is not just harvested, it is grown with dignity and shared with pride.

Once harvested, the beans embark on a journey to India’s most advanced processing facilities, where CO₂ Supercritical Extraction and PLC-SCADA precision systems safeguard their natural aroma, purity, and bioactivity. This is where tradition meets technology, transforming nature’s finest gift into clean-label extracts that meet ISO and EU-certified standards.

Air-freighted directly to Europe, every batch arrives fresh, safe, and traceable. Through Livanille, based in Paris, France, we deliver these treasures exclusively across Europe-ensuring that your creations are built with ingredients that are authentic, sustainable, and pure.
