Love them, very moist and split easily. Going to make great vanilla.
These are great beans a little dryer than I would have liked but still smelled good and seem to be making great vanilla.
Smelled so yummy. Moist and oily too. I split them and they are happily swimming in vodka.
This bottle is probably one of my new favorites. I love the little crystal ball stopper big fan and the bottle has so much detail to it very old time look of cut glass reminds me of my grandmothers cut glass collection. I loved it so much that I bought 2 more ! The vanilla or the by Jill collections when finished will be beautifully displayed in these . If you want an elegant “ old cut style glass” to gift or show off your collections of homemade vanilla or even Kahlúa homemade of course , this is definitely the choice you should make!!
Being they were grade B they were drier and I could break them with my hands to put in the vodka. They smelled wonderful as I put them in. The vodka changed color immediately.
Diana jars are lovely. Can’t wait to make vanilla! Ordered labels but they were not included in delivery.
It is absolutely beautiful!
I love my Mixed Marquee blend. As soon as I got them, in they went to Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon. The beans were full of oily goodness and there was one bean in the package that was the largest bean I have ever received! They smell amazing!
Thank you so much for for the gift card! I am so so excited about winning the trivia question! I would like to thank Paul, Jill, and Teresa for the awesome site!
I just received these beans yesterday. I plan on sending them swimming on July 4th. The label on the vanilla bean bag was beautiful with the 250th birthday of our Country on it. I also loved the labels that were included.
As of yet, I haven’t done anything with my beans, but they smell so good every time. I’m at the kitchen counter. It’s all I can smell is my vanilla beans right through the sealed plastic. I’m going to look into what the best alcohol will be for Madagascar beans I have 8 ounces so I’m gonna make a large batch and share with my kids, I don’t very often share
The aroma of these beans was enchanting.
Love this blend
As with all of VanillaPuras beans, I love these too

Hi Courtney, you can for sure make coconut extract without vanilla, just add 1 cup of rum to 3/4-1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, making sure that the coconut is fully submerged in the rum. Give the jar a good shake every day and leave to extract for a couple of weeks, or until it is as coconutty as you would like!
If i wanted to just make coconut extract with not vanilla how would I go about that
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?
