Madagascar Vanilla beans are aged in vodka with no other additives or colorings for a minimum of 6 months. You are receiving pure extract with no fillers. Each bottle contains a vanilla bean so the flavor will continue to improve with time. The extract is contained in a amber glass bottle with a small spout for easy pouring. Excellent for baking, cooking, and flavoring. When the extract is all gone, mix the bean in with a cup of sugar for vanilla infused sugar. It gets better with age as well! This product is home produced.
