Vanilla Beans
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 extract is used to make our Tahitian Vanilla Cakes!

Pure Vanilla Extract Made From Premium Vanilla Beans
Slofoodgroup pure vanilla extract is composed of a blend of high-quality vanilla beans from some of the top vanilla producers in the world. Unlike many store-bought vanilla extracts, this is a real vanilla extract, and you can taste the difference. This single fold vanilla extract is dark, creamy, rich, and incredibly fragrant. Vanilla extract is made from extract grade vanilla beans, which often contain splits and cracks. The lower moisture content in these beans means the vanilla flavor is extremely concentrated, making them perfect for long infusion processes like making real vanilla extract. Ours is made from only the finest vanilla beans and aged a minimum of 180 days, then lightly filtered and bottled in an air-tight container.
Why Our Pure Vanilla Extract is Superior to Other Vanilla Extracts
What Makes This a Single-Fold Extract
How to Enhance Recipes with Pure Vanilla Extract
Pure vanilla extract is exceptional in absolutely every recipe that calls for vanilla. Try it in a side-by-side taste test with the vanilla "flavored" alternative, and you'll see why the real thing is far superior! The use of vanilla extract is the most common method of infusing recipes with the prized flavor of vanilla beans. It's used in both cooking and baking recipes worldwide in place of vanilla beans because it's much easier to keep on hand, quicker to use, and it stores better.
This particular blend of pure, single fold vanilla extract is composed of some of the best vanilla beans from around the world. It's suitable for enhancing any recipe that calls for vanilla extract.
"Single fold" isn't just a marketing term, it's a legally defined designation under the FDA's standard of identity for vanilla extract (21 CFR 169.175), which requires at least 35% alcohol by volume and a minimum concentration of extractable vanilla compounds per gallon. This is the classic, standard strength most recipes are written for, giving you a true, full-flavored vanilla extract without needing to adjust quantities. Looking for a more concentrated option? Our 2X double fold Madagascar vanilla extract uses twice the vanilla beans per gallon, letting you use half the amount in a recipe.
Vanilla extract, when pure, flavors any recipe exceptionally well on its own, but it can also be used to complement the use of vanilla beans or vanilla powder in any recipe, adding an extra layer of vanilla essence. You'll absolutely love the results!
Consider using this real vanilla extract as a flavor addition for holiday gifts for friends or family. The most common uses include an array of baked goods, such as cookies, scones, and other pastries, but we love it in flavored beverages such as teas, cocktails, or eggnog, and an assortment of other desserts, such as ice cream, gelato, and buttercreams (salivating yet?).
We think our pure vanilla extract is phenomenal, but we understand if you'd rather make your own. Here's a great recipe for making real vanilla extract with rum, bourbon, or traditionally with vodka! Start with Grade B vanilla beans and put them in these lovely extract bottles!
*As is true for our full line of vanilla extract, this variety has been certified kosher by EarthKosher.
Pure vanilla extract contains water, alcohol (35%), vanilla bean extractives, and organic cane sugar (less than two grams per gallon by volume).
Extract, Beans, or Powder: Which Should You Use?
Vanilla extract isn't your only option for adding vanilla flavor, but it's the most convenient. Whole vanilla beans deliver the boldest, most authentic flavor along with visible seed specks, but require splitting and scraping. Vanilla powder offers a concentrated flavor without moisture, useful in recipes where added liquid isn't wanted. Extract sits right in the middle: easy to measure, stores well, and works in virtually any recipe that calls for vanilla, sweet or savory, hot or cold. If a recipe calls for a whole bean but you only have extract on hand, one bean is roughly equivalent to 3 teaspoons of extract, a helpful conversion to keep in your back pocket.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Vanilla extract has an indefinite shelf life since it is made with alcohol. Simply store in your cupboard or pantry out of direct sunlight, and your vanilla extract will remain good for years on end.
- Yes. The FDA requires an alcohol content of at least 35% for a product to be legally considered vanilla extract. A product that doesn't contain alcohol is technically a vanilla alternative or vanilla flavoring, not true extract. When making your own, select a base alcohol such as vodka, rum, bourbon, or brandy that's 70 proof.
- To make vanilla extract, you'll need approximately 0.83 ounces of vanilla beans (about 7-10 average-sized beans) for every cup of alcohol. We recommend following the weighted measure for consistency, since this compensates for natural size and shape variation in vanilla beans and aligns with the FDA's standard of identity for vanilla extract.
- Single fold is the standard, classic strength most recipes are written for. Double fold uses twice the vanilla beans per gallon, so you only need half the amount in a recipe. We offer both, this single fold extract and our 2X double fold Madagascar vanilla extract.
- It depends on your recipe. Whole beans offer the boldest flavor and visible specks but require prep work. Vanilla powder is concentrated and moisture-free. Extract is the most convenient, easy to measure and store, and works well in nearly any recipe. One whole bean is roughly equivalent to 3 teaspoons of extract.
