50 Aromatic Tahitian Vanilla Beans for Vanilla Extract | ESSENCE FOOD & BEVERAGE

ESSENCE Tahitian Vanilla Beans — for premium vanilla extract and more

Experience the depth of flavor that only carefully cured vanilla beans can offer. This set includes 50 whole beans, each about 5 to 5.5 inches in length, selected to balance flexibility with a robust pulling of aroma as you work them into your recipes. The beans are Grade B, sun-dried to a moisture range of 20–24%, a process that preserves essential oils while keeping the pods supple and easy to work with. This careful drying helps maintain a consistent texture so you can scrape, split, or infuse with confidence.

Originating from Papua, Indonesia, ESSENCE sources these beans directly, supporting fair trade practices and sustainable farming. The relationship with growers helps ensure quality while contributing to local communities. You can expect a product that showcases the region’s characteristic vanilla profile—rich, mellow, and nuanced rather than overpowering. In tasting, you may notice a refined, floral aroma that hints at vanilla’s more delicate notes, inviting you to layer flavors in sauces, desserts, and beverages without overwhelming other ingredients.
