After spending $25 for 10 Vanilla beans you already know that my sanity is suspect. I get it. But I couldn't help myself after seeing a single dried out Vanilla bean in a jar selling for about $11 at my local Publix I gave in to whimsy. I opened the package and inside was the most vanilla-y aroma ever experienced. It looks like I got 9 really nice beans and one scragglier (skinny, thin and not very moist). It's hard to describe the texture, softer than raisins but not as dry as sun dried tomatoes. Not being an expert, I cannot say for sure. One thing I do know is quality and freshness. These have it. The bean I used is going into some vanilla ice cream so I split the bean down the middle to expose the pulpy seed laden interior. Then cut it into a few pieces. The recipe called for me to mix it with milk and then put in the blender for 1 minute. The milk is then heated along with cream, sugar and stabilizers (powdered milk, corn starch) to 190 degrees. The mixture was strained and cooled overnight. The bean imparted some darkening to the mixture and the vanilla seeds are visible. I just tasted the mix after freezing in my ice cream maker. The flavor is a subtle, flowery light vanilla flavor. There is absolutely no bitterness only some slight sweetness from the bean (My ice cream mix uses very little sugar). I am very pleased with the finished product. My next few experiments will be making some extract and flavoring some vodka. Other than the skinny bean, these seem to be very good quality, fresh beans that impart a delicate light flavor of the finest vanilla. I know they won't keep long because I live in a warm climate so we will be making lots of stuff to use them up. Yes they are expensive, and obviously an extravagance (1 whole bean to 1 1/2 quarts ice cream) but if you like to cook and want true flavors, they are worth it.

I purchased by weight this time, instead of per 25/beans, because I found the 25-pack to be on average 1.8 oz. by weight... I needed 4 ounces, so went with the 1/4 pound purchase (great price, btw). As you’ll see in the pictures, the beans outside of the 4 oz. bag weighed 3.88 oz. Sigh...
I’m making homemade vanilla. These beans are beautiful and pliable; not too dry, which is ideal for my purpose. The vanilla I’ve made so far using Native Vanilla Tahitian vanilla beans has more of a floral note that may not be to your taste. (If you’re expecting a more traditional aroma/flavor vanilla, I would highly recommend using Madagascar vanilla beans, grade B.) I’m “brewing” both kinds separately in a variety of alcohols... (I love storing the developing vanilla in amber Growlers... makes the weekly ritual of shaking far less time consuming.)
I’m using the following recipe/method: .88 oz. vanilla beans per cup of alcohol for Single-fold; 1.6 oz. vanilla beans per cup of alcohol for Double-fold. Rum, Brandy, and Bourbon (in that order of preference) appear to be the favorites, but I’m holding out hope that Vodka turns out a decent vanilla.
I’ll update my post once the Tahitian beans begin to develop a stronger aroma... so far I’ve had Native Vanilla grade B Tahitian vanilla beans “brewing” for about 5 weeks. The scent isn’t as strong as I was hoping, but I have many more weeks to go with this.

I have ordered these 3 times. The first two times the vanilla pods were super dry. I think you really would have to squint to see how these could really be labeled Grade A. However, the taste and aroma was really on point. Tahitian vanilla really is the best vanilla. I made a crème brûlée and vanilla bean ice cream, I used double the dose of vanilla to make up for the dry pods. The rest I have in big jugs of vodka, turning into extract. However, I got some more recently to top off my extract and omg I got some real Grade A stuff. So soft, so moist. With the same great aroma. The inconsistency sucks, but it’s still a great price for the best kind of vanilla. The reason I got the 3rd batch was with the expectation that it wouldn’t be Grade A, but it will still make an amazing extract. Definitely recommend it.
Update:
Unfortunately, I was so happy that this batch was fresh that I didn’t notice it was moldy. Sigh :(
