Organic Gourmet Tahitian Vanilla Beans

$20.00 – $1,800.00

Organic Gourmet Tahitian Vanilla Beans

Organic Tahitian Gourmet Vanilla Beans from a 100-year-old family business specializing in vanilla since 1918.

Lustrous hand-cured and hand-selected vanilla beans from the chief source of the world’s best-quality vanilla. Nothing is plain about these vanilla pods.  Each vanilla bean is more than 4 inches (11-15 cm) long, packed with gorgeous black seeds and plump with its correct moisture content, unlike the dried-out beans you often see in supermarkets. These are the less dominant tahitensis variety, as distinguished from the Bourbon or planifolia bean.

 

Fabulous in creamy desserts such as homemade ice cream and creme brulee, white cakes and baked goods, as well as fancy savory dishes. The first choice of top chefs.

 

Each black vanilla pod is the result of painstaking craftsmanship, nurtured by hand start to finish, hand-pollinated and sun-cured over many months, with careful inspection at each step. We select only fully ripe, late harvest vanilla beans. Sourced directly from our village cooperatives to assure quality and a fair price to farmers.

 

Cook’s Vanilla is a family owned and operated business established a century ago to provide fine vanilla to American households. Now in our fourth generation, we are on the ground in the the world’s vanilla growing regions, personally selecting the world’s best vanilla.

Recommended Usage

To use a vanilla bean, using a sharp knife, carefully cut down the length of the vanilla bean. Using the dull edge of the knife, gently scrape out the seeds into the desired batter or mix. Do not throw away the remaining fibrous pod, rather steep it in milk or cream to infuse with delicate vanilla flavor or place into sugar jar to scent your sugar with vanilla flavor. See our blog on Making Homemade Vanilla Extract!

Pure Vanilla Bean Puree (Paste)

$24.95 – $316.00

 

Pure Vanilla Bean Puree (Paste)

Pure Vanilla Bean Puree an easy delicious way to get the authentic look of vanilla bean seeds! Delicate. Decadent. Delicious. Ken Cook, longtime president of Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, searched for the highest quality vanilla and uncovered R.R. Lochhead's 100-year family legacy in Paso Robles, California. Cook’s Vanilla represents our drive to produce the finest vanilla extracts. Only ten percent of the world’s vanilla beans are picked when perfectly mature. We harvest the fully vine-ripened beans and cure them ourselves to assure a delicate, intense, beautiful vanilla. Through our cold extraction, we have captured this exotic essence in a bottle. We use more vanilla beans in our products than most vanillas you buy, providing added strength and richness. Additionally, we go directly to the source to find our vanilla beans. Therefore, we only use the absolute best vanilla for our extract.  A easy and delicious vanilla perfect for the home cook, chef, or manufacturer. This product contains all of the flavor punch of Bourbon vanilla extract, with the authentic look of vanilla bean seeds, all suspended in a sugar syrup base. Like vanilla beans, this product shines where the vanilla bean seeds can be showcased. The vanilla seeds are perfectly suspended, so there’s no need to shake the bottle before use. Delivers the flavor punch of extract and the natural look of the vanilla bean. It is often difficult to get an intense vanilla flavor at home using only a vanilla bean. Pure Vanilla Puree gives you the best of both worlds. Perfect for vanilla ice cream, creme brulee, puddings, custards, sugar cookies, shortbreads, granola, and for vanilla bean glaze when mixed with simple syrup. Cook's Pure Vanilla Bean Puree (Paste) is made with the finest vanilla beans from Madagascar. Vanilla beans from Madagascar are of the Vanilla Planifolia variety. Often referred to as Bourbon vanilla beans, vanilla beans from this region are named after the French Bourbon Islands, one of which was Madagascar. This variety of vanilla is universally pleasing and enhances other flavors. Flavor notes: Creamy, Rich, Sweet and Warm. Enhances other flavors.
