The scent and the size of the beans is quite inpressive, along with the major plumpiness. The oils are amazing-vanilla sugar is on tap for those bags!
For me this actually smells and tastes like vanilla. My baking always come out great.
I did a double fold using these beans and Bacardi superior and after 18 months, the vanilla is sweet and syrupy with lots of caviar, perfect for that special recipe! I’m pleased to be gifting it to a special friend.
It’s here!!! It arrived very fast for a group buy! It smells AMAZING!!! I can’t wait to bake with it!
Smells amazing. Excited for the end results
Madagascar vanilla beans orders and received- have not opened yet-
These beans look incredible! They are so oily and moist. I should be able to get some wonderful sugar just with the oil in the bag! With 4 ounces, I see so many possibilities!
Love the Madagascar vanilla beans. Late starting thisyears Christmas gifts but I’ll be early next year!!!
I love the way this bottle feels in your hand , it’s sleek and exquisitely made .. The beans if kept whole lay perfectly in the jar lengthwise and looks like a work of art.. beautiful way to display your extract
Loved the fragrance of this spice blend. Can't wait till it is finished. Now I wish I had purchased more of it.
I just received my Ugandan beans so I haven't gotten them swimming yet. I am very anxious to taste them next year.
The Avera Extract jar collection is not only beautiful, the way the mountains stand out when your extract starts getting dark, but they are also easy to store, without taking up a lot of room. You can actually get more bottles stacked together, on a shelf than you can canning jars. The Avera bottles are my absolute favorite, so far.
Beautiful assortment of beans! Can't wait for the vanilla to be done extracting!
They are very nice.
I have ordered these from VP before & loved loved loved the extract. So I had to get more.

Hi Jo! The coconut does absorb some of the alcohol during extraction but you can expect to get at least 7 ounces of extract if you use 8 ounces of rum as per the recipe :-)
How much coconut extract did you get from the original alcohol that was put in?
