Pure vanilla, with its wonderful aromatic flavour, is the most widely used flavouring in pastries, confections, and other desserts. It is the second most expensive spice in the world, next to saffron, and as much as flavour chemists try with the glycoside found in the sapwood of certain conifers or from coal extracts, the cheaper synthetic vanillas on the market today do not come close to competing with pure vanilla. Vanillin is only one of 171 flavouring compounds that have been identified in natural vanilla, which is why synthetic vanilla is only an approximation of the natural bean, with none of its subtleties. When you use the whole vanilla bean the complexity of flavours and aromas of the bean are released. In custards, milk, creams, syrups, and other liquids they impart a wonderful flavour and their small dark seeds add dimension to your dessert. Natural Vanilla beans are used widely by top chefs across Europe and the US in all Gourmet preparations. These beans exude luxury and add a premium to every recipe.
