12 Madagascar Vanilla Beans

I purchased these vanilla beans because they are terribly expensive if you can find them in the stores. Store #1 had only two in the jar for around $6, while store #2 had ONE in a jar for $8!! Getting 12 in this pack was a bargain even with shipping! I have not used the beans yet, but that aroma is mesmerizing...even though the pack is vacuum sealed! It would have been nice if they had come in a resealable package, but it wasn't a big deal as we have air-tight jars and stored them in one of those.I can't wait to make some creme brulee and homemade vanilla bean ice cream with these!

Purchased the beans to make my own vanilla extract! Left the package on the counter overnight (closed, of course) and the next morning the whole house smelled like vanilla! The beans are very fragrant and are very moist. Slit them down the middle and stuffed them into a bottle of vodka, left them for a few months and voila! Some pretty great vanilla extract!I want to try it with a bottle of rum next, so I will be buying more soon!

Wow! The strong fresh smell and the size and the well-sealed package that obviously locks the moisture in, all combine to produce a product that seems so much higher in quality than anything I have ever bought from a grocery store shelf in a glass jar, that I will never buy vanilla beans in a grocery store again. Well worth the wait for them to be shipped.

I bought these to add to the vodka and have the most excellent vanilla ever, will buy these always! They arrived so quickly and packaged so carefully, none were broken. Love them!

I used up some vanilla beans that I've had for over a year to make vanilla extract. I bought these to make things that call for fresh vanilla beans (gelato). Soft and fresh, they are easy to work with and of course taste great.

I think I might have died and gone to vanilla heaven. Wonderfully moist, plump, and aromatic vanilla beans! Ever since receiving my order I have had to struggle not to smirk a little each time I pass the spice section in my local grocery store where single, somewhat dried-up looking vanilla beans in glass jars (perhaps meant as museum specimens?) go for close to the same price as this magnificent dozen. Nice going Arizona Vanilla Company! Prompt shipping as well.

I bought these vanilla beans to make my own vanilla extract and they were perfect. Fragrant, beautiful beans at a great price. The shipping was much faster than stated in the item. I would definitely buy these again.

That's the first thing I noticed when I received these Madagascar Vanilla Beans in the mail. I baked these Vanilla Beans in a Fluffy White Cake and boy was it good! There moist too! I can't wait to put these babies in Ice Cream! I will definitely be ordering some more soon! ^_~
