An exquisite marriage of the richness of vanilla and the sweetness of Anpo persimmons from Sado Anpo persimmons from Sado Island, which have a high sugar content, are lightly drained and then soaked in vanilla brandy. You can enjoy a rich taste that perfectly matches the sweet taste of Anpo persimmon and the flavor of Indonesian vanilla (Planfolia variety), which is reminiscent of chocolate and caramel. Apricots and dried fruits by origin that bring out the depth As a new attempt this year, we are blending two types of apricots from different production areas from AMBSESSA&CO, Chiba Prefecture, which handles organic ingredients. The combination of apricots with a sweet and rich aroma and apricots with a distinct sour taste creates a deep flavor. Two types of raisins and figs are also added to create a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. Generously uses Planfolia variety vanilla from Indonesia Hugh Morgan’s Stollen is a special vanilla-flavored recipe that uses no spices. Vanilla powder is kneaded into the dough, and plenty of vanilla is added to the marzipan, so you can enjoy the rich flavor of vanilla with every bite. After baking, they are soaked in melted vanilla butter for a moist texture and elegant aroma. Furthermore, it is coated with vanilla sugar to give it a distinctive vanilla scent that spreads as soon as you open the bag. ■Pastry chef’s commitment To achieve a crispy texture on the outside and a moist texture on the inside, it is baked a little more intensely. This twist creates a light and timeless taste, allowing you to enjoy a different fruit flavor in every bite. Although it is marinated in vanilla brandy, the alcohol taste is modest, making it easy for anyone to eat. 3. “Sable de Noel” is a special baked confectionery made with aromatic spices and vanilla, perfect for the holiday season This winter, an assortment of “Sable de Noel” will be available as a gift to create a special moment. The main ingredient, the ginger cookies, is made with luxurious planfolia variety vanilla from Madagascar and “golden ginger” from Miyazaki Farm in Tokushima Prefecture. In addition, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg carefully selected by AMBSSA & CO are kneaded into the dough along with vanilla, creating a spicy and refreshing flavor that is perfect for winter. The refreshing scent of cardamom is combined with nutmeg to create a deep flavor reminiscent of the cold season. AMBSSA&CO’s pecan nuts and rich millet sugar are also added to the dough, creating a perfect balance of vanilla sweetness and spice, making it recommended even for those who don’t like spice.

The person who created this history was Hugh Morgan, who was the personal physician to Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled England in the 16th century. He was the first person to establish vanilla as a stand-alone flavoring agent, which originated in Central America and was only used sparingly as a mixed spice. After he established the vanilla fragrance, the aromatic scent of vanilla and its uses soon became known, especially among the upper classes, including the royal family. After that, vanilla developed greatly as a noble fragrance used in perfumes and sweets not only in England but also throughout Europe. Hugh Morgan created the foundation for the development of vanilla today. We respect his creativity and use him as a source of inspiration as we pursue “the further possibilities of vanilla” as a specialty vanilla brand.

It is not well known that there are significant differences in the aroma of vanilla produced in Africa, which is the center of production for Planfolia varieties, and Asia, which is the center of production for Tahitensis varieties. Every year, we select high-quality vanilla from each target area that best matches the brand concept, based on three concepts: “Elegance,” “Classic,” and “Dawn.” For example, Madagascar, one of the most famous producing regions, boasts the world’s largest production of Planfolia varieties, but it is not well known that Uganda is also a major producing region in Africa. Even in the same country, the quality varies depending on the farm, and there are many excellent farms even if they are not the main producing areas. We select vanilla from various production areas around the world using strict standards to provide extremely high quality vanilla.
