Vanillaholic I have always loved vanilla! The smell, the taste, it all gives me the feels! I began making my own homemade extracts in 2018, and there is no going back!

I was always interested in vanilla. The taste, how it was made. The beans are so expensive that making my own extract seemed beyond my reach for many years. A few years ago, I stumbled across Vanilla Bean Kings. They have a co-op each month that allows me to buy vanilla beans at an affordable cost. Their business model reflects my own in that they support free trade and sustainability. Having grow

n up part of a large family in a farming community, I understand that farmers are the backbone of our food supply. Vanilla extract from the grocery store is adequate, but my extract is high-quality. I use more beans than the FDA requires; so my extract has more flavor. It does not contain water, sugar or anything artificial. I use alcohol that I wouldn't mind drinking. Not top shelf, but not bottom of the barrel either. I don't strain my vanilla extract to make it look pretty. You will see the seeds (caviar) and the oils (where all the flavor comes from) makes it thick and syrupy.

Today I watched a program on YouTube called the history of vanilla , the flavor that shouldn't exist. Now a disclaimer, it is AI, and Mr. Vanillaholic and I had many chuckles at the graphics because it was so obvious. However it did give accurate information on where vanilla came from. Over all I would say it is worth a watch.
