How do I store my vanilla beans?
In their tube or an airtight container, away from heat, light and moisture. Several years with no loss of aroma, and they keep maturing gently.
More details in the storage guide.
How do I use a vanilla bean?
Split the bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife, and drop the bean and seeds into your hot preparation (milk, cream, syrup). Leave to infuse. Retrieve the bean, rinse it, dry it and reuse it.
Bourbon or Pompona vanilla: what's the difference?
Bourbon (Vanilla planifolia): the classic, fine, sweet, balanced. Ideal for baking and desserts.
Pompona (Vanilla pompona): XXL, more floral and woody, with a warm fragrance. Great for spiced rums and long-infusion recipes.
See the Bourbon guide.
