Vanilla Pods 2pcs
The True Essence of Luxury and Flavour
Experience vanilla in its most authentic and potent form. Our premium vanilla pods are hand-selected for their superior quality, boasting a glossy, oily skin and a high concentration of the tiny, flavour-packed seeds inside. The flavour profile is deep, sweet, and profoundly aromatic with creamy, woody, and rum-like notes that are far more complex than any vanilla extract.
This is the choice of pastry chefs and discerning home bakers who refuse to compromise on quality. By starting with the whole pod, you have complete control, allowing you to create incredibly potent vanilla sugar, extract, and pastes, or to infuse flavour directly into your custards and creams.
Why Choose Our Vanilla Pods?
Unmatched Flavour Potency: Whole pods contain the highest concentration of natural vanillin, delivering a rich, complex flavour that is the gold standard in baking.
Two Uses in One: Use the seeds for an intense, visible speckle in desserts, and the empty pod to make vanilla sugar or extract. Nothing is wasted.
Sign of Quality: A moist, plump, and oily pod is a sign of high vanillin content and superior quality.
100% Pure & Natural: Nothing but pure, cured vanilla pods. No additives or preservatives.
Culinary Inspiration: How to Use Vanilla Pods
Unlock the ultimate vanilla experience:
Custards & Creams: Split the pod and scrape the seeds into crème brûlée, pastry cream, and ice cream for the finest flavour.
Vanilla Sugar & Extract: Place used pods into a jar of sugar to create aromatic vanilla sugar, or into alcohol to make homemade extract.
Poached Fruits: Add a split pod to the liquid when poaching pears or peaches.
Infused Syrups & Beverages: Steep in warm milk for lattes or in syrups for cocktails.
How to Use:
To Split: Using a sharp paring knife, slice the pod open lengthwise.
To Scrape: Use the back of the knife to scrape out the tiny, flavourful seeds inside.
To Infuse: Add the whole split pod (seeds and all) to warm liquids to infuse.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
