Native VanillaGrade B Tahitian Vanilla Beans – 10 Total Premium Extract Whole Pods – For Chefs and Home Baking, Cooking & Extract Making – Homemade Vanilla Extract

fragrant vanilla pods, which I store in vodka. Lasts for years this way.

Comes air sealed so you have to be carefull to not leave them out for long becaus they will develop mould . Straight into alcohol for tinctureing.

The best value vanilla pods around. The recipe for home made vanilla extract required 6 pods. I find these really great value for money as you get 10 pods.They arrive in a completely air tight sealed bag that has been vacuumed closed, along opening the bag a strong vanilla smell escaped the bag.They are currently soaking in premium vodka, and in 12 months time will have the most luxurious, pure grade vanilla extract, after a little shake once a week to release the little flavour beans.Would highly reccomend these vanilla pods to anyone.

Prefer the scent of Madagascar beans and they are overall better value. Yet to test these in extract, but seems to be decent quality.

I’ve used these lovely beans to make homemade extract so wasn’t too concerned with the size and plumpness. However, they are actually really really nice beans! Really good size, very soft and the smell is incredible! This may be my best batch yet, find out in 6-12 months

I use it to make homemade vanilla extract. Turned out great!

Outer packaging smelled of vanilla however inside smelled of mould. On further inspection under the sticker I found mould infestation. Unfortunately this whole batch stank of mould / wet socks and no scent of vanilla. Vary sad and disappointing.This could have been a great volume for money if the quality would check out.

I bought the vanilla beans with the intent of making my own vanilla extract by simply slicing the beans along there length, and then fully submerging them in vodka. I was wary about the possibility of the beans being mouldy though, as I'd read some reviews from various similar products that mentioned mould, as well as some that mentioned the beans smelling strange.The beans I ordered looked just fine but when I opened the packaging, there was a distinct and unpleasant artificial plastic like smell.... it was almost like a vanilla scented cleaning product or something.The reason I'm writing this review is to say that if, when you open your vanilla beans, they too have an unpleasant smell. Then unless they smell of mould, I'd recommend persevering with them because, after a month in vodka, the odd smelling beans that I bought are now smelling absolutely wonderful. Far better than the cheap extracts you get from the supermarket.I'd say that the initial, unpleasant smell was actually coming from the packaging and the packing process. One word of warning though... it took quite a few washes to get the staining out of my chopping board, where I had sliced the beans open.
