Pavoni - Trompe-l'œil Mold
Trompe-l'œil Mold 10 Vanilla Half-Pods - PX43105S
Cédric Grolet collection for Pavoni Italia
Long and slender, with ridges running lengthwise: the vanilla pod is an exercise in precision. The PX43105S mold, designed by Cédric Grolet, makes one half-pod per cavity; two moldings assembled lengthwise recreate the full volume of a closed pod.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Does the mold make a whole pod or a half-pod?
One half-pod per cavity. To create a full three-dimensional pod, assemble two half-pods from two moldings.
Which velvet spray should I use for the vanilla effect?
Matte black or very dark brown, replicating the characteristic black powder of the dried pod.
Can the half-pod be served on its own, without assembly?
Yes, the individual half-pod is already a complete dessert for plated service, textured side facing up.
