About this deal

Ancient origins: Traditional Mexican vanilla has a rich history dating back to ancient Mesoamerica, where the Vanilla planifolia orchid grew naturally. We cannot be liable for theft or spoilage of goods whereby you were not available to personally receive them on the day you requested on the calendar. Vanilla, a species of a climbing Orchid, grew beautiful foliage and flowers in each of these regions, but never produced any Vanilla pods. The best vanilla extracts use higher-cost premium quality beans with a high vanillin content and minimal additives.

A cornerstone in many cherished recipes, this extract encapsulates the spirit of a nation where food is more than sustenance; it's an art form, a communal bond, and a timeless tradition. While there are rules governing vanilla extract production and labeling, not every company follows the rules. Nielsen's proprietary cold extraction process gently draws out and preserves the vanilla’s more than 300 flavor compounds, resulting in one of the world’s most exceptional vanillas. Mexican vanilla extract differs from your standard vanilla extract in more ways than one — and while the bees can be accredited to some of its fragrance and flavor, they can't take credit for it all.Finally, by having a hefty amount of sugar, the manufacturer can use poor-quality beans in the extraction process as the sugar will make it taste better. Because vanilla is a fruit of the Americas and Mexico has been a big draw for tourism for well over a hundred years, imitation vanilla has been a lucrative business. Most Mexicans could not afford to purchase the beans due to the high cost, and the majority of the crop was sold to the U. Having tried a vanilla pod while making 'Crema Pasticcera', we were overwhelmed by the quality and distinct flavour we achieved.

Tahitian pods are also perfect for bringing a touch of luxury to strawberry jam, or a warm strawberry sauce for pancakes, and of course they are unbeatable in custard. We have a segment with FAQ’s as well as a Learn About section with a lot more about vanilla, differences in varieties and flavors, and we have a recipe section with hundreds of recipes.

It requires that the ingredients for extracting the flavor and fragrance from vanilla beans be 35% alcohol (70 proof), 13. In addition, all federal and state regulations for food products including California Proposition 65 and FSMA are satisfied. Pure Mexican Vanilla Extract is made from premium, hand-selected beans cultivated in Mexico that are infused into 35% alcohol. Steve, the two bottles of Mexican vanilla you purchased are both imitation vanilla made in a chemist’s lab. If the pod smells rotten and does not reflect light then the affected pods should be discarded as this can spread to the uninfected pods.

If you are off-put by the smell and taste of alcohol, and you want to enjoy real vanilla, your best bet will be to use whole vanilla beans. It’s difficult to recommend a particular vanilla to someone because a lot depends on personal preference. Vanilla is a high-risk, labour-intensive product; derived from orchids,each flower must be hand-pollinated, and the crops themselves are particularly susceptible to vine disease and storms before the pods are harvested by hand and cured in small batches using traditional methods. While they may not have been the first to use vanilla in their cuisine, they were the first people to cultivate it. This makes me sad to say because I LOVE Mexico, and I encourage you to travel there and enjoy their country!

During the next 300 years, Mexican Vanilla was transplanted to various tropical regions throughout the world, without success. Mexican vanilla is cured by wrapping the beans in blankets and straw mats and putting them inside of ovens for as long as two days.
