Taste is a difficult thing to describe over the Internet but we can promise that you'll be amazed! Global Goods works endlessly to make sure our Mexican Vanilla comes from the purest Vanilla Orchids in the region. It's a difficult task to grow, cultivate and to produce our Mexican Vanilla in the old family style, but we have found it is worth it! Most of the products sold throughout the United States are chemical derrivitives of the vanilla scent. Global Goods Inc does NOT use any foreign chemicals in our our Mexican Vanilla.
Global Goods' Mexican Vanilla consists of Vanilla Beans, water, alcohol (4%) and the scrapings of the crystals (scent) in the pods called Vanillin (2%). The only Vanilla more pure than this is the actual Vanilla Bean. Since the beans don't last long after being harvested, we no longer sell them. We love the taste of Vanilla so much, we do our best to limit the amount of alcohol used in the product. That's another reason you'll love our Mexican Vanilla for all of your baking needs! Check out the Diagram below to see how our Mexican Vanilla is processed.
We only know of 3 manufacturers of Mexican Vanilla that have been approved to be sold here in the United States. If you are buying Mexican Vanilla and they can't provide you with their FDA number, that should be cause for hesitation.
Vanilla orchids are a tough flower to manage. Each flower must be hand pollinated in order to get the vanilla beans to grow. You can imagine the time and effort involved. Luckily we bring the Vanilla Extract into the U.S. by the truck loads to bring our international shipping costs down.
