Artificial vanilla can’t replicate the complexity of over 200 compounds found in Natural Vanilla Beans. There is NO clear vanilla, this is always an artificial vanilla, as no vanilla is clear or white.
“PURE” Vanilla by FDA standards. To use Pure on your label, the FDA requires a minimum of 13.35 oz vanilla beans to a gallon of alcohol with a minimum 35% alcohol and 65% water (in the original alcohol, not the extract). After that “Pure” extract producers can add sugar, corn syrup, caramel colors, stabilizers, and other additives to sweeten the extract further. So long as the alcohol content and vanilla bean weight stay the same, it remains “pure” by FDA standards. FDA does not require all vanilla extract additives to be listed on the labels. Check your labels, ours is ONLY Vanilla Bean and Alcohol. “Quality means doing it right when no one is looking”
Virtually every commercial producer of pure vanilla extract, the producer dilutes and adulterates (additives) to their vanilla to some extent. We at Vanilla ‘n Spice are very pure vanilla from quality gourmet grade A vanilla beans and top shelf, tested, spirits/alcohols. We follow strict quality control. Never use grade B or extract vanilla beans. (insert photo of 2 type A vanilla beans one fat & one thin) And did you know there is a big difference in the brands of alcohols? We know what brand of each type of alcohol, ranked A+ to F, and we only use A+ alcohol for optimum results.
