Nielsen's proprietary cold extraction process gently draws out and preserves the vanilla’s more than 300 flavor compounds, resulting in one of the world’s most exceptional vanillas. It’s perfect when I get to enjoy it on the beach 🙂 I will definitely let you know if anyone goes/comes from Veracruz so that we can get you some beans.

Mexican vanilla in the US is made from Mexican vanilla beans but is made to the US Standard of Identity, which means 35% alcohol. A cornerstone in many cherished recipes, this extract encapsulates the spirit of a nation where food is more than sustenance; it's an art form, a communal bond, and a timeless tradition.

Ultimately, the entire process brings a complex flavor to the vanilla — woodsy, smoked, and pungent notes trained palates can taste. The best vanilla extracts are made from premium grade vanilla beans that have a high natural vanillin content. And more importantly, while the best quality extracts may cost a little more, the improved flavor will be well worth it! Mexico is the birthplace of vanilla and in the past has benefitted from the perfect growing conditions for the plant – sunlight to shade ratio, humidity, altitude and rainfall.

While I would love for that not to be true, the 2018 December harvest produced far less than a ton of vanilla beans.
