Bourbon vanilla extract from Madagascar

Vanilla extract (you may also know it as vanilla essence) is the herbal extract that is obtained from the pure vanilla pod . If pure vanilla extract is mentioned, it must always be extracted exclusively from real vanilla beans. The fine vanilla extract contains the flavors of the vanilla pod in highly concentrated form . Since the Bourbon vanilla extract is stored in alcohol, it can basically be kept indefinitely . During production, Nielsen-Massey uses a special extraction process through which the fine vanilla aroma is extracted in a very careful manner . This means that the pod's over 300 flavor components are retained and ensure an intense vanilla aroma.

Why is it called Bourbon Vanilla?

Bourbon vanilla is considered the finest of all varieties and is mainly grown in Madagascar. However, it owes its name to the “Ile Bourbon” , where it was first cultivated before the production of the exquisite vanilla beans moved to the larger neighboring island. Today the “Ile Bourbon” is known as “La Réunion” . The name Bourbon vanilla has nothing to do with American whiskey. Did you know that Madagascar alone supplies over 60 percent of the world's vanilla needs?
