Double Fold Bourbon Vanilla Extract, gallon

Double-fold (2X) extracts are made with twice the quantity of beans used for the same volume of single-fold extract. This results in a more concentrated (double-strength) extract.

Bourbon Vanilla is a generic term for Vanilla planifolia, and is the most commonly used variety in vanilla extract. Vanilla planifolia stock originated in Mexico, vanilla's birthplace, but cuttings were taken to other tropical countries in the 1700s. In the 1800s, the French developed large plantations on Reunion, known at the time as the Ile de Bourbon, hence the name Bourbon. Although Bourbon vanilla extract contains alcohol, it is not made from Bourbon whiskey.

Bourbon and Mexican vanillas have the familiar vanillin flavor that we associate with vanilla ice cream and other vanilla flavored desserts and beverages. Use Bourbon vanilla in baked goods, ice cream and anything where a traditional vanilla flavor is desired.
