Discover Aged Pure Vanilla Extract from Aged Vanilla Company!

When it comes to baking, the quality of your vanilla extract can make all the difference. At Aged Vanilla Company, we’ve perfected the art of vanilla extraction by blending traditional aging methods with cutting-edge technology. The result? Premium vanilla that’s ready for use immediately but continues to evolve inside the bottle, ensuring a rich, complex, aged flavor with every drop.

The Secret to Our Vanilla: Innovation Meets Tradition

While aging is key to developing that classic complexity, it’s not enough on its own to guarantee top-quality vanilla. That’s why we’ve paired traditional aging with our proprietary negative pressure cold extraction method. This innovative technique ensures that each bottle of vanilla exceeds the vanilla content of major brands before it even ships.

By using this advanced method, we efficiently extract and enhance the natural flavors of the vanilla beans, ensuring a premium product that’s ready to enjoy right away. Every bottle is packed with exceptional flavor, and it continues to improve as it ages.

Why Aged Vanilla is Different

At Aged Vanilla Company, our vanilla continuously ages in the bottle, with the beans still inside. This ongoing aging process allows the vanilla to keep developing, intensifying its flavor, and delivering the full depth and richness that only time can provide. You’re in control of your vanilla journey—use it immediately or allow it to age for even more intense flavor. When you’re ready, use it to elevate both sweet and savory dishes.

Insightful FAQs

Aged Vanilla Extract can be used in any recipe that calls for vanilla extract, including cakes, cookies, puddings, ice creams, sauces, and more. The key difference is that Aged Vanilla Extract is richer and more complex, so a little goes a long way. A good rule of thumb is half of what a general recipe may call for or use the full amount for more pronounced noticeable vanilla flavor. Often baked goods take time for the vanilla flavor to settle and full show. Vanilla flavor tends to be less prominent in hot foods, especially in baked goods, because the heat can cause the delicate vanilla compounds to evaporate or dissipate. This is why you may not immediately notice the full depth of flavor when using vanilla in hot dishes like cakes or cookies. However, over time, as the dish cools, the vanilla flavor becomes more pronounced and develops its complexity. So, while you might not taste the full impact of the vanilla extract in hot foods right away, it will emerge more clearly as the dish settles.

If stored properly, our Aged Vanilla Extracts have virtually no expiration date due to their high alcohol content, which both extracts and preserves the vanilla flavors. While each bottle features a “Best By” date, the flavors can last well beyond that, continuing to mature and develop over time. Unlike traditional vanilla extracts that may lose their intensity over time, ours continuously evolve, offering deeper and more refined flavors as they age.
