In the production of vanillas, we use beans cultivated in three specific regions–Madagascar, Mexico and Tahiti–to craft our origin-specific extracts, pastes, powders, beans and sugar. Each region's vanilla has a distinct flavor, from creamy to floral, and each product, from extracts to pastes, has its specific benefits and ideal culinary uses. This means that each of our all-natural vanilla products will have its own unique influence on your dish.
Which one's right for your culinary needs? The chart shown below details the advantages as well as best pairings and uses for each of our vanilla products.
