Prova Gourmet Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Powder is whole Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, pod and seeds together, ground to a fine brown powder in France. It is a single ingredient with no sugar, no carrier, and no liquid, so it adds nothing to a formula but vanilla.

Because it is dry, the powder goes where a liquid extract cannot: macaron shells, meringues, cookie and cake doughs, royal icing, and chocolate work, all places where added moisture would slacken a batter or where alcohol would flash off in the oven. Folded into a white meringue it leaves the fine brown speckling of a scraped pod, and a small amount carries a long way. The aroma is that of the whole bean, and it survives baking intact.

Prova Gourmet Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is also available as a vanilla bean paste, a pourable liquid with suspended seeds for custards, ice cream, and other wet bases.

It is also available as an alcohol free vanilla extract, a seedless liquid for applications that want the flavor without visible flecks.

For wholesale customers, this product is available in bulk discounts.
