Francesca's Spices - Vanilla paste, 100g

Bourbon Vanilla Paste from Madagascar – Intense Vanilla Flavour with Real Vanilla Seeds

Bourbon vanilla paste brings the rich, unmistakable aroma of Madagascan vanilla to your kitchen in a convenient, easy-to-use form. Made with natural vanilla extract and genuine Bourbon vanilla seeds, it adds both wonderful flavour and the characteristic tiny black specks that make vanilla desserts so appealing.

It is particularly well suited to light-coloured recipes where the visible vanilla seeds can take centre stage. Use it to enhance custards, creams, ice cream, puddings and a wide variety of desserts. Its intense, aromatic flavour also makes it an excellent addition to cakes, biscuits and other sweet bakes.

The paste has a thick, almost syrup-like consistency, achieved with naturally derived tragacanth gum. This helps keep the vanilla seeds evenly distributed throughout the mixture, reducing the tendency for them to settle at the bottom.

Botanical name: Vanilla planifolia
