Pure Vanilla Extract

Premium Grade Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Alcohol

Our Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract is created through a thought-out process and combination of carefully sourced products, using only Grade A Madagascar Vanilla Beans. There are never any additives to our Pure Vanilla Extract - water, sugar, and even flavoring is typically added to more mass-produced vanilla extract. It is estimated that around 95% of “Vanilla” products including extracts contain vanillin, which is an artificial flavoring derived from petrochemicals found in wood. There is something special about Pure Vanilla Extract that is taken from the source: Vanilla Beans!

WHAT CAN I USE VANILLA EXTRACT FOR?

This is a great question! While it may be surprising to some, Pure Vanilla Extract has many uses. Here are some of them:

  • Use in your favorite baked goods (this should be a given) - we always add just a touch more than the recipe calls for. Also a dash in some hot chocolate will intensify the cocoa flavors - YUM!
  • Use to cut the acidity of tomato sauce - ask your Italian friends!
  • Add a bit of Adagio Pure Vanilla Extract to any recipe with pure maple syrup to amplify the maple taste.
  • Use in cocktails - spice up game night and impress your guests. May we suggest an Adagio Vanilla Old-Fashioned? Place 1 ¾ oz. of your favorite bourbon, ½ oz. simple syrup, 2 dashes of bitters, and ½ tsp. Adagio Pure Vanilla Extract in a rocks glass. Add ice and a flamed orange peel, and enjoy!
  • Add a bit of Adagio Pure Vanilla Extract to recipes with tropical flavors like coconut. Since Vanilla beans are a tropical ingredient, it amplifies the notes.
  • Put on your crafty-pants and make some homemade sugar scrub! Combine 2 C. of raw turbinado cane sugar with ½ C. coconut oil, ½-¾ tsp. Adagio Pure Vanilla Extract, and ½ tsp. Natural vitamin E oil. Adjust the oil levels as desired and store in an airtight container - use within a couple of months as this is an all-natural recipe! Be careful as the coconut oil can create a bit of slippery floor - so go easy on those dance moves while singing in the shower!
