Excellent Product! Excellent Service!
I'm a convert
I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.
Slo Food group team takes great care of their customers. Received a broken bottle of Vanilla and it was immediately handled. Received my replacement bottle within 3 days.

This process allows us to deliver not only the most flavorful and full-bodied Madagascar vanilla extract, but also the most unadulterated vanilla extract, sticking to timeless traditions and an unwavering commitment to quality every step of the way.
Ingredients in Our Madagascar Vanilla Extract
Why Is There Sugar in Our Vanilla Extract?
Does Vanilla Extract Go Bad?
Many people often ask, what is vanilla extract made of? Unlike most spices and flavorings, "vanilla extract" isn't just a marketing term, it's a legally defined product category under FDA regulation 21 CFR 169.175, which requires vanilla extract to contain at least 35% alcohol by volume and a minimum concentration of extractable vanilla compounds per gallon. Vanilla is actually the only spice with its own dedicated federal standard of identity, a reflection of just how often lower-quality or adulterated vanilla has historically made its way into the market. Our Madagascar vanilla extract meets and exceeds that standard, made simply from water, alcohol (35%), vanilla bean extractives, and organic cane sugar. While sugar is an optional ingredient in any pure vanilla extract, it does serve a useful and practical purpose.
Sugar is a common ingredient in vanilla extract, much like there's salted and unsalted butter. It serves several purposes: it helps bring out the flavor profile of vanilla while cutting through the alcohol base. Our vanilla extract contains less than two grams of organic cane sugar per gallon, which we consider quite low in terms of sugar content, and is also why it's the last ingredient on the label. We actually offer both a traditional vanilla extract and a sugar-free version of our Madagascar vanilla extract.
No, vanilla extract does not go bad. Pure vanilla has an alcohol base of 35 percent, and while recommended best-by dates are printed on almost all vanilla extracts in the marketplace, that date isn't a definitive point after which the product is no longer usable. Properly stored, vanilla extract can last five, ten, or more years according to many experts. Over time, sediment may occur at the bottom of your bottle, simply shake and use as desired.
*Our Madagascar Vanilla Extract has been certified kosher by a Rabbi at EarthKosher.
Baked or Unbaked: What Happens to the Alcohol?
When vanilla extract is used in a recipe that goes into the oven, the alcohol largely evaporates during baking, so it has little effect on the final flavor of cakes, cookies, or breads. In unbaked applications, like whipped cream, tiramisu, or homemade ice cream, the extract doesn't go through that same heating process, but the amount used in most recipes is typically so small that it gets diluted and dispersed throughout the other ingredients, meaning you generally won't taste it directly either way. For a full walkthrough on how extract is made and why these details matter, see our step-by-step guide to making vanilla extract, or check out our tips on using vanilla in baking for more ways to get the most out of every bottle.
