Tahitian Vanilla Extract, 32 fl oz (quart)

Tahitian vanilla (Vanilla tahitensis) comes from Vanilla planifolia stock crossed with Vanilla pompona. It is classified as a separate species, as it is considerably different than planifolia in both appearance and flavor.

Tahitian vanilla is sweeter and fruitier and has less natural vanillin than Bourbon or Mexican vanilla. It has a cherry-like, licorice, or "raisiny" taste and floral fragrance. The Tahitian vanilla bean is more plump and moist than the Vanilla planifolia bean, and contains far fewer seeds. Tahitian vanilla is especially nice in fruit compotes and desserts, as well as in sauces for poultry, seafood and wild game. Tahitian vanilla's high heliotropin content makes it a good stomach calmative.

Ingredients: Purified water, sugar cane alcohol (35%), premium vanilla bean extractives, sugar (3%). No artificial ingredients. Gluten-free.
