Cured vanilla beans bundled in kraft paper bands

From a carefully chosen origin

Grown on a vine in Uganda, cured in the sun, sorted by hand and sealed at the source, so what reaches your kitchen is exactly what left origin.

How a batch travels

Vanilla was first: one sealed batch from Uganda, one line on the label, the way we intend to do every ingredient we sell.

For the bakes that never see a drop of liquid

Powder is for the bakes where liquid is unwelcome. Extract carries its flavor in alcohol, and in a dry dough that alcohol has nowhere to go; powder just folds in. Shortbread, sablés, streusel, macaron shells: the bakes that would seize at a teaspoon of liquid take powder without noticing.

Start with about half the amount of extract your recipe calls for, taste, and adjust: a half teaspoon of powder stands in for a teaspoon of extract, a rounded teaspoon for a whole bean. The flecks stay visible in a pale crumb. Let them show.

Off the bench it blooms in anything warm: whisked into hot chocolate, stirred through an ice-cream base, dusted over the morning coffee. Baking at volume? The powder ships in bulk too.

How to use it
  • Shortbread, sablés, sugar doughs: anywhere liquid is unwelcome.
  • About half the amount of extract a recipe calls for; taste and adjust.
  • Whisk into hot chocolate, ice-cream bases, or coffee.
  • The flecks stay visible in pale batters; let them show.
Storing it

Airtight jar, room temperature, away from light and steam. The shelf above the kettle is the wrong shelf.
