Split (imperfect) Bourbon vanilla pods
Vanilla is at its peak aromatic intensity when it reaches full maturity. However, it is also at this stage that the fruit splits open to release its seeds. The 'split' pods are the chefs' secret: less visually appealing, but more potent. These pods are perfect for making homemade extract and are preferred by brewers, distillers, and other manufacturers who macerate finely chopped whole pods. They are slightly less expensive and much more intense. These vanilla pods come exclusively from a producer in the Vohémar region. The region’s distinctive terroir produces a powerful, empyreumatic aroma with notes of leather and figs. Each package contains a 100-gram bundle of between 25 and 35 pods, depending on the weight of each pod. The minimum order is 200g, separated into two 100-gram modified-atmosphere packs. When a bag is opened, carefully follow the directions on the bag. These pods keep very well.
These products can also be purchased by the kilogram.
