Our finest hand-picked vanilla encompassing a complex host of beautiful flavor including butterscotch with notes of caramel and almond. Ideal for restaurants and small businesses, or for the ambitious home baker. Protected within a strong tin, the beans are wrapped in large sheets of wax paper to keep them perfectly fresh even with the regular removal of beans. If the beans are well-kept, theyll continue to develop even greater intensity over time, a bit like a fine wine. Keep a look out for the tell-tale crystals which are a hallmark of true premium, properly conditioned vanilla.
