The Essence of Quality: Why Vanilla Matters

Vanilla, often called the heart of baking, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the flavors in every recipe it graces. From the comforting warmth of cookies to the sumptuous richness of cakes, vanilla doesn't just add flavor; it elevates the entire baking experience. However, not all vanilla extracts are created equal. The market is flooded with synthetic versions that mimic the aroma and taste of vanilla but fall short of providing the depth and complexity that true vanilla possesses. This is where our Homemade Vanilla Extract comes into play.

A Labor of Love: Our Homemade Vanilla Extract

One of the tips I received early on in my baking journey was that an extra pinch of salt and splash of vanilla can turn a good recipe into a great one. Inspired by this philosophy,  we ventured to craft an extract that will do just that. Our vanilla extract is homemade, ensuring that every drop is pure, with no chemicals or artificial flavor additives. Made with either a rum or vodka base, our extract comes in two sizes: 4.5 oz and 8.5 oz bottles, catering to both casual bakers and seasoned pastry chefs.

Vodka-Based Vanilla Extract: Smooth and Flavorful

For those who prefer a clean, pure vanilla flavor that seamlessly blends into their creations, our vodka-based vanilla extract is the perfect choice. The vodka acts as a neutral canvas, highlighting the vanilla's sweet and floral notes, making it a versatile addition to any recipe. 

Rum-Based Vanilla Extract: Warmth and Depth

Alternatively, our rum-based vanilla extract offers a rich, complex profile. The rum not only intensifies the vanilla's natural flavors but also adds a warm, caramel-like depth. This version is ideal for recipes where you want the vanilla to play a starring role, adding an extra layer of flavor to traditional baked goods.

The Composition

Both versions of our vanilla extract contain 40% alcohol, adhering to the standards for pure vanilla extract. This high alcohol content serves as the perfect solvent for 6 Grade-A Madagascar vanilla beans, extracting every ounce of flavor and preserving it in each bottle. By choosing our homemade extract, you're not just getting vanilla; you're getting a concentrated burst of the finest vanilla beans, carefully selected and steeped over time to achieve the perfect flavor profile. This extract really is a labor of love!
