Description
Discover our Tonka bean absolute directly from our sustainable supply chain, guaranteed by our responsible quality.
This product has a solid or pasty texture. To facilitate its use, gentle heating is recommended depending on its consistency:
• For solidified or hard products, gentle warming in a water bath, placing the container in a temperate environment (such as near a mild heat source), or holding it in your hands to benefit from body heat can help liquefy or soften it.
• For pasty products or those that are difficult to handle at room temperature, you can either heat them slightly (e.g., in a water bath or dry oven) or use them directly with suitable utensils, such as spatulas.
Avoid exposing the product to high temperatures (do not exceed 40°C) to preserve all its natural properties. Once warmed or prepared, ensure you use clean utensils for transferring or applying it.

Production
Harvest
Dipteryx odorata, growing wild in the basins of the Amazon and Orinoco, is a tree native to South America whose almond, found in the fruits, is called Tonka bean. The fruits, ripening in winter, begin to fall and are harvested from February to April in the forest. The fruits need to be cracked with a stone tool to collect the beans, whose skin is brown, and the flesh is ivory. Tonka bean has been used in recent years as a flavoring in food and can be grated directly onto desserts or macerated in sauces or sweet creams.
Manufacturing
Native to Venezuela, the organic beans are left to dry for a few weeks before being extracted by Biolandes in France.
