Undertones of rich, sweet chocolate infused with a velvety-smooth creamy texture, combined with subtle hints of earthy dried berries and a tinge of caramel.

Curating Technique

Bourbon Method

Discover the art of curating planifolia vanilla beans in Indonesia with the renowned "Bourbon method." This time-honored technique involves sun-drying the beans during the day and then carefully sweating them in wooden boxes at night. Wrapped in cloth, the beans release their moisture, resulting in a plump and oily appearance. The beans are then sorted based on size and quality, and undergo several rounds of sweating over weeks, ensuring a rich and complex flavor profile. Experience the exquisite taste of Indonesia's finest vanilla with our expertly curated collection.

FAQs

Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans, particularly those grown in regions like Java and Bali, are renowned for their unique flavor profile characterized by creamy, sweet, and floral notes with hints of caramel and chocolate. This distinctive taste is attributed to the terroir of the region, including the soil composition, climate, and cultivation practices. Bakers appreciate Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans for their rich flavor and aromatic qualities, which enhance the taste of baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries.

While all vanilla beans share common characteristics, Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans have their own distinct flavor profile and aroma. Compared to Tahitian vanilla beans, which are known for their fruity and floral notes, Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans offer a deeper, more complex flavor profile with creamy and caramel undertones. In contrast to Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans, Indonesian varieties often have a slightly smokier and spicier flavor, making them a preferred choice for bakers seeking bold and robust vanilla flavors in their creations.

Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans can elevate the flavor of baked goods when used in various forms. Bakers can split the beans lengthwise and scrape out the flavorful seeds to infuse into liquids like milk or cream for custards, sauces, or pastry creams. Alternatively, the whole beans can be steeped in liquid ingredients to impart their rich flavor. Grinding the beans into a fine powder also allows for easy incorporation into dry ingredients for cakes, cookies, and bread. The versatility of Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans makes them a valuable ingredient in a baker's arsenal for enhancing the taste and aroma of a wide range of baked treats.

Several factors contribute to the quality and authenticity of Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans. Firstly, the beans must be sourced from reputable growers and producers who adhere to strict cultivation and processing standards to ensure consistency and purity. Authentic Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans are typically grown in specific regions known for their optimal growing conditions and terroir, such as Java and Bali. Additionally, proper harvesting, curing, and drying techniques are essential to preserve the beans' flavor compounds and aromatic qualities. Bakers can trust certified suppliers who provide traceability and transparency in sourcing their vanilla beans to ensure the highest quality and authenticity.

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the freshness and quality of Indonesian bourbon vanilla beans. When stored in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed pouch away from heat, light, and moisture, the beans can retain their flavor and aroma for up to one to two years. Bakers should store the beans in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or fluctuations in temperature. To extend the shelf life further, some bakers prefer to store the beans in airtight containers with sugar or alcohol to create homemade vanilla extract or vanilla-infused sugar, adding versatility to their baking ingredients while preserving the beans' freshness.

These gourmet vanilla beans were the best I have ever bought online or anywhere. Obviously not as fast receiving as when I get them on Amazon but there is no comparison in quality. They were very plump and extremely fragrant. Professionally and beautifully packaged which was an unexpected surprise. I would highly recommend and look forward to my next purchase.

I opened this beautiful little package not expecting much (I have tried so many companies for vanilla beans before) but as soon as the package was opened my whole kitchen was smelling like a vanilla factory! These are so good.
