Pure Mexican Vanilla Extract is like regular vanilla extract, but with a bit of a slightly spicier twist! Using Mexican vanilla extract in baked goods and desserts that already include cloves, cinnamon or cardamom is especially delicious, and helps bring out the warm, sweet-spiced flavors. Made using authentic Mexican vanilla to assure real Mexican vanilla flavor.
This rich Mexican vanilla extract is a bit spicy & woody in its flavor undertones. It pairs well with desserts and baked goods that include cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and saffron.
Use Mexican vanilla bean extract nicely in dessert recipes that feature cinnamon, cloves or other spices. Add Mexican vanilla flavoring to your cookie, cake, custard and frosting recipes. Surprisingly, using a bit of Mexican vanilla in tomato sauces can help cut acidity and bring other flavors to the surface.
What makes your vanilla extract different from others?
By law, to be labeled a Pure Vanilla Extract, the liquid must be at least 35% alcohol and use only vanilla beans in the flavoring. A single vanilla bean has about 300 unique flavoring components. However, many of these are delicate flavors that occur in trace amounts and must be carefully extracted to maintain their distinctive flavors. To capture maximum flavor from the variety of unique flavor compounds, our extracts are produced using a proprietary cold extraction, slow percolation method. Damaging heat and pressure are never introduced into this process. This cold extraction process takes nearly a month to complete but ensures that the deep, rich flavor and delicate sweet, floral notes of each flavor compound are captured in our vanilla extracts. .
