Our Madagascar Vanilla Beans are Grade A, the highest quality available. Grade A beans, also called prime or gourmet beans, are pliable and plump with a slightly oily surface. This makes them much easier to work with and to remove the seeds from the pod, which ensures maximum vanilla flavor in your finished dish.

The flavor of Madagascar “Bourbon” vanilla can be described as rich and creamy having moderate tobacco and licorice like notes and a woody, prune likeness. These vanilla beans are the ones commonly called for in most recipes.

Flavor Profile

These whole beans are rich and creamy with strong vanilla flavor and subtle tobacco-like notes and pair well with cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron.

How to Use

One vanilla bean is equal to 1 tbsp. of extract.
Perfect for flavoring chocolate, coffee, ice cream, cookies and most sweet dishes. Good with certain savory dishes like lobster or veal.

About The Spice

Madagascar vanilla beans are the ones commonly called for in most recipes. Never refrigerate or freeze as extreme cold can kill flavor enzymes in the bean. Store away from heat and sunlight in an airtight container.

More Information

One vanilla bean is equal to 1 tbsp. of extract.

Use the whole pod or cut and remove the inner seeds. The easiest way to obtain the inner seed is to split the bean lengthwise, open the bean up flat and scrape from top to bottom with the edge of a knife. No need to throw away the bean. Try using the vanilla bean skin by adding it to a container of sugar for lightly infused vanilla flavor.

Never refrigerate or freeze. Keep in an airtight container, out of sunlight and away from heat.
