Vanilla, Tahitian. 

Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract is made from premium, hand-selected beans cultivated in Tahiti, and is a favorite of pastry chefs around the world. Because Tahitian vanilla is very susceptible to heat, Nielsen-Massey’s proprietary cold extraction process is the ideal way to preserve its unique flavor compounds. Tahitian vanilla’s flavor profile is floral, fruity and often described as anise- and cherry-like. Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract is best used in refrigerated and frozen foods, where it adds a delicious and delicate vanilla flavor.
