Steenbergs Vanilla is everything organic vanilla should be - full of flavour and aroma, tender and delicious. Vanilla is the seed of a Mexican orchid and Steenbergs vanilla comes from Madagascar. Store Steenbergs organic vanilla beans in a cool dark location and never freeze.


After fermentation, the organic vanilla pods develop a rich, mellow, intensely perfumed aroma with hints of liquorice or tobacco matched by a delicate, fruity or creamy flavour.  Steenbergs organic vanilla may also have hints of raisin or prune or smoky, spicy notes.  The flavours and aroma of organic vanilla pods come from vanillin as the major flavour component as well as well over 250 additional trace flavour components.  It is these subtle variations in relative amounts of aromatic aldehydes, esters, oils, organic acids and resins as well as the vanillin that creates the individuality of organic vanilla pods.  No scientist can duplicate the individuality of vanilla.


Good organic vanilla pods are deep brown or black, long and narrow and somewhat wrinkled, moist, waxy, supple and immediately fragrant. The best organic vanilla pods have a light, white frosting, called givre, of vanillin crystals; so don’t worry about this on your pods, it’s a sign of quality and is not fungal growth.


 


The individual flavour profile of the organic vanilla beans is a result of the terroir and the curing process.  Terroir consists of the soil, general climate and specific annual weather patterns.
