Chef-Grade Vanilla Extract — Trial 50ml
Chef-grade Madagascan vanilla extract, steeped from real Grade A pods. Available alcohol-based (stronger extraction, traditional baking performance) or vegetable-glycerine based (alcohol-free, softer profile).
Our alcohol-based vanilla extract is steeped from real Grade A Madagascan pods for bakers, chefs and food professionals who need dependable flavour extraction and consistent performance batch after batch. Alcohol is the traditional extraction base because it's efficient at capturing and holding onto flavour compounds, which is why an alcohol-based extract holds up so well in baking and other high-heat applications — the vanilla character survives the oven rather than cooking off. Being a liquid, it also measures precisely and mixes in evenly, which matters when you're trying to standardise a recipe across repeated batches rather than eyeballing a pod each time. It pairs naturally with our vanilla pods and vanilla paste for kitchens that want flexibility across formats.

Our alcohol-free vanilla extract uses a vegetable glycerine base in place of alcohol, for kitchens and households that need to avoid alcohol entirely without giving up a real vanilla-pod extract. Glycerine draws flavour out more gently than alcohol, which is exactly why this version has a softer, rounder profile rather than the alcohol version's sharper edge — it's a genuine formulation difference, not a diluted copy. That makes it the extract of choice for Halal-friendly, religious, and child-friendly kitchens, and for anyone who simply prefers a gentler vanilla presence in creams, custards and sauces. Like the alcohol version, it measures precisely and mixes in evenly for consistent results batch to batch.
