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! 💝💃🥳

United StatesLoose Cut Vanilla a beans
This was my first time using vanilla beans in any way and I’m so happy I went this route! They were easy to use and is making amazing progress in the 2 days I’ve had them in vodka to make an extract out of them! Will be buying lots more soon!
United StatesGreat First-Time Experience
This was my first attempt at making vanilla. Most instructions are geared for A or B beans. The cuts are a different animal, but great when you figure it out. I quickly gave up using a knife with these. They were too hard/tough. The good thing with this is you pay for beans and not moisture. More beans for your buck. Good kitchen shears are what you need. I split what I could with the shears and cut the rest into 1”+/- pieces to aid in soaking. I made three different batches using vodka, rum, and bourbon. I used enough beans for 2-fold. Within 24 hours I already had a nice dark color in my liquid. It gets darker every day. This looks like it’s going to be one rich batch! I agitate daily to aid in coverage. It’s going to be hard to wait 6-24 months! If you’re wanting quality beans and don’t mind that they would never stand a chance in a vanilla bean beauty contest, the loose cuts might be what you need. Definitely worth checking them out.
United StatesGreat for homemade vanilla!

We used the whole pound in 2 full Mason qt jars and dark rum. The beans are broken up and smaller, but perfect for making extract. A good value!
