Small batch vanilla extracts naturally aged and slowly brewed using organically grown vanilla beans and handcrafted non-GMO vodka.
Just like wine grapes, vanilla beans develop different flavors based on their region of origin and ancestry. And like small batch wine, single batch vanilla extracts naturally aged and nurtured slowly are destined to bring a unique flavor profile to each individual brew. Top Shelf Vanilla Extracts are the result of curiosity, a little patience and a desire to create an unprocessed clean vanilla ex
tract for personal use. Did you know that it can take 5 years for a vanilla bean go from seed to market? The grow process can't be hurried, is fairly complex and very labor intensive. Vanilla beans used in Top Shelf Vanilla Extracts are sourced from Madagascar, Mexico and Tahiti and are grown organically. TSV continues in the spirit of the vanilla growers by embracing a slow steeping brew process of our extracts. Selected vanilla beans are first opened to expose thousands of flavorful tiny black seeds nestled within each vanilla pod and then combined with certified gluten-free pot stilled handcrafted vodka. Every small batch is allowed to quietly and slowly brew for 5-6 months in a dark, cool location. The extracts are watched over, shaken by hand, taste & smell tested throughout the natural brew process. No crushing of the vanilla beans, damaging heat percolation or pressure methods used. Once mature, each small batch of Top Shelf Vanilla Extract is twice-filtered, hand bottled, sealed and numbered so no matter what small batch you enjoy, you’re guaranteed its origin and potency. Our extracts are carefully blended following FDA regulations and do not contain caramel coloring, corn syrup or any other additives. The delectable aroma and rich flavors of our extracts are sure to enhance your kitchen and favorite recipes.
