I’m so happy I’m not the only one who loooves (good) vanilla ice cream! I do also think growing up in France means having access to better vanilla tasting products than in North America, though that’s been slowly changing in Canada for the last few years

One of my favorite additions to matcha / baked goods / chocolate / granola / yogurt / etc etc. I love it in powdered form - so worth the investment! Thanks for sharing the story :)

I too love vanilla. Claire, what do you do when you receive so many beans at once? Is making vanilla sugar/extract how you use most of them? How long have they lasted you once vacuum sealed and stored in a cool, dark place?

I went to Tahiti for my honeymoon in 2021 and my vanilla bean pods made the best vanilla 😭🥹 I'll cherish it until it gives up!
