Natural vanilla extract

Natural vanilla extract is a flavouring ingredient derived from vanilla beans, which grow on orchid plants. These beans are the fruit of the vanilla orchid and contain tiny seeds that give off a rich and sweet aroma. The extract is commonly used in cooking and baking to add a distinct vanilla flavour to dishes.

To make natural vanilla extract, the beans are first harvested and cured to bring out their flavour. The beans are then soaked in alcohol and water to extract the aromatic compounds. This mixture is then aged to enhance the flavour, resulting in the familiar liquid form of vanilla extract that we see in bottles.

You'll often find natural vanilla extract listed on food labels as a flavour enhancer. It adds a warm and sweet taste to various foods and beverages such as cakes, cookies, ice cream, and custards. Its presence can elevate the overall flavour profile of a dish and provide a comforting, familiar taste that many people enjoy.
