Madagascar Vanilla Bean Extract in Vodka

Extract: The vanilla bean is made from a complexity of several hundred flavours. Yet, ironically, a newly-plucked vanilla bean doesn’t smell much like vanilla. Its inherent taste and fragrance are part of its “essential oils”. The oils themselves must be extracted before we enjoy their benefits. Alcohol is a natural extrapolator that dissolves the bean’s essential oils and keeps them in suspension. Essence: Alomost all the vanilla essences sold in Malaysia is synthetic or imitation. Imitation Vanilla essences (the stuff most of us grew up on) or flavourings are all chemically developed and with all artificially produced flavouring. Thank goodness time has changed and we now get to experience the real deal! For a little more investment you have the knowledge that your food ingredient is Natural, Fine and Pure.

Vanilla extract comes from macerating vanilla beans and mixing them with alcohol, or adding water, sugar, corn syrup, caramel colors, stabilizers and other additives to sweeten the extract even further. However, VaBean Pure Vanilla Extracts is pure and rich for one simple reason because we use only Madagascar vanilla beans and quality alcohol for the extraction to make sure it is the most pure and rich vanilla extract in the market.

Vanilla Beans: Vanilla beans can last more than two years when properly storedand in ideal conditions. Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract can have a shelf life of many years when properly stored. Remember that vanilla extract, like a lot of other spices, may have a best before date but will not have a use by date or expiration date. Because of this distinction, you may safely use it to compliment your favorite foods for as long as you like. Please take note that once opened, and over time, if you notice a cloudy color or increased sediment at the bottom of the bottle, that is just gravity pulling down the flavor matter. Simply shake the bottle and continue use.

Our vanilla beans are shipped in vacuum sealed packages. We suggest that you do not open the package until usage. Keep in mind that you might see a brown liquid throughout the vacuum sealed packaging. Do not be concerned for this liquid is simply oil squeezed from the vanilla beans during the vacuum sealing process. You should never store your vanilla beans and vanilla extracts in the refrigerator. We recommend you store them in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cabinet
