Madagascar produces most of the vanilla sold commercially, and consequently is the quintessential, familiar vanilla flavor for most people. It is the flavor imitated in artificial vanilla, although the real thing has a full, rich, intense flavor no imitation can compare to. This pure, single-strength vanilla is made from 100 beans per gallon, extracted in a time-consuming slow-percolation cold method to preserve every nuance of flavor and aroma.
Each bottle of extract we sell comes with a small vanilla bean inside. While you're using the extract, the bean adds flavor over time. When the extract is gone, use the bean to flavor your sugar (or vodka), or for baking.
There is a communication of more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk. And that is my answer when people ask me: Why do you write about hunger, and not wars or love.
