Spice Islands Bourbon Vanilla Bean

The Vanilla Bean is the fruit of an orchid-like flower grown in the tropics. We select Bourbon Vanilla Beans because of their complex flavors. Split bean lengthwise with sharp knife and scrape seeds into gently simmering milk or cream when making custards, dessert sauces, or ice cream. A 2-inch piece of Bourbon Vanilla Bean is equivalent to 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract.
Spice Islands bourbon vanilla beans are sourced only from Madagascar, considered by gourmet chefs and master bakers to be the world's finest. Some vanillas you find in the store may have been sourced from Mexico, Indonesia or Tahiti. But in Madagascar, the warm, moist climate and rich soil produce vanilla with the deep, rich flavor you'll love in your desserts and baked goods.
We search the world for spices and herbs of the highest quality. Then we craft and package them to deliver the most authentic and intense flavor possible. That’s why home chefs who have a taste for flavor adventure and everyday cooks who just want better tasting meals fill their pantries with Spice Islands.
