Natural Vanilla Beans – Whole Vanilla

Natural Vanilla Beans

Bembo Vanilla Beans are a prized spice with an intense, sweet, and enveloping aroma. Vanilla beans are particularly appreciated in pastry-making and cooking because they allow for the direct use of the small aromatic seeds contained inside the pod.

Their characteristic aroma enriches pastries, creams, cakes, cookies, ice creams, and desserts, but they can also be used to flavor beverages and creative preparations.

How to use Vanilla Beans

To use a vanilla bean, slice it lengthwise with the tip of a knife and open it gently. Then, scrape out the small seeds inside and add them directly to your preparation.

The emptied pod also retains a significant portion of its aroma and can be used during the preparation of creams, milk, syrups, and other recipes that require infusion.

Vanilla Beans for pastries and desserts

Natural vanilla beans are one of the most used ingredients in pastry-making.

They are ideal for flavoring custard, panna cotta, crème brûlée, ice cream, cakes, cookies, creams, and spoon desserts.

The seeds distribute throughout the mixture, providing the characteristic vanilla aroma and the small dark specks typical of using natural beans.

How to flavor creams, milk, and beverages

The bean can be left to infuse in milk, cream, or other liquids required by the recipe, allowing the heat to gradually extract its scent.

This method is particularly suitable for creams, ice creams, sweet sauces, and pastry preparations.

How to reuse the Vanilla Bean

After using the seeds, the vanilla bean can still be utilized for its aroma.

Once cleaned and thoroughly dried, it can be used to flavor sugar or left to infuse in suitable preparations, reducing waste and making the most of the spice.

Natural Vanilla for creative cooking

Although primarily known for its use in desserts, vanilla can also be used in more creative gastronomic preparations, where its aromatic profile can accompany delicate ingredients and create interesting contrasts.

Store the beans in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat sources.

Packaged in the characteristic light-resistant and anti-oxidation Bembo jar with an airtight seal, designed to preserve its aroma and fragrance.
