The process
Why cold grinding changes everything
Most powders on the market are blends: sugar, maltodextrin, starch, sometimes flavouring. Ours contains only whole Grade A Bourbon beans, ground into a fine, homogeneous powder.
Standard grinding raises the temperature through friction, which drives off part of the aromas and vanillin. We work cold, in short passes, to keep the aromatic profile intact.
The result is a powder with an immediate, dense, woody aroma that disperses evenly in dry mixes and liquids alike, with no lumps and no settling.
How to use it
Use 3 to 6 grams per kilo of preparation. The powder is three to four times more concentrated than beans at equal weight.
Biscuits and viennoiserie
Blend straight into the dry ingredients. No added moisture, so dough structure stays intact.
Chocolate and pralines
Compatible with tempered chocolate: no water, so no risk of the mass seizing.
Macarons and meringues
Adds flavour without upsetting the moisture balance, unlike a liquid extract.
Finishing and dusting
Visible specks on a plated dessert, a cappuccino or a whipped ganache.

Frequently asked questions
Is there sugar in the powder?
No. No sugar, no maltodextrin, no carrier. It is pure ground bean, which is why it is far more intense than retail vanilla sugars.
How does it compare to a bean?
About 2 grams of powder replaces one medium bean. Adjust to the intensity you want and the type of preparation.
Does it colour preparations?
It adds fine black specks, which are highly sought after in pastry. On a very pale base, use a lighter dose.
Is it suitable for hot preparations?
Yes, it holds up well to baking. For maximum aroma, add it late in the process whenever possible.
