This luxuriously rich Vanilla Extract is made with vanilla pods grown in the hills around Nyanza (aka Lake Victoria) in Tanzania. The pods are sun-dried during the day, cured in wooden boxes overnight which yields opulent aromas of toasted hazelnut and date tannins.
The vanilla is extracted into a blend of rum and bourbon, making it a versatile ingredient not only in the kitchen, but the bar as well. Use it in Manhattans, whiskey sours, piña coladas and espresso martinis to add a velvety texture and aroma.
This collaborative product was created in tandem with Burlap & Barrel, a Public Benefit Corporation building new international spice supply chains that are equitable, transparent and traceable.
