For ten years, I worked in tech and startups in France as an operations director. Alongside this, I nurtured a passion for cooking and for the exacting standards of exceptional products. It was on Reunion Island that I discovered vanilla and learned how to work with it, in pastry as well as in savoury dishes.
When I settled in Lisbon, I looked for that same level of excellence, in shops and in restaurants. I could not find it. So I left everything behind to devote myself to importing vanilla from Madagascar.
From the very first delivery, several of Lisbon's finest houses were won over. The need was real: MEVA was born. Today, the mission is clear: to make MEVA the benchmark for vanilla. A complete range for professionals, 100% natural products, and a lasting commitment to Malagasy growers.
