Natural Bourbon Vanilla by Sprig Gourmet

Bakers, take note!

Sprig Gourmet offers a connoisseur’s baking range which is worth a try for any baking enthusiast. One of the best things on their line-up is the bottled Extract of Natural Bourbon Vanilla Beans made from Madagascar vanilla beans. Madagascar vanilla, also known as Bourbon vanilla (since it originates in the island of Reunion, formerly known as Île Bourbon) shares flavour notes with Mexican vanilla, but it’s slightly less dark and offers a classic profile.

Sprig’s vanilla extract is also markedly different from most store-bought options that rely on too many chemicals. But the best part about the ingredient is its versatility. For pro bakers, this could be a handy accompaniment since they can be used in cookies, cakes or even in delicate desserts like pannacotta. For rookies, this could be an all-rounder since the extract can be added to lattes, parfait bowls, whipped cream or custards.
