Taking inspiration from the tropical paradise of Ile de Bourbon (now Reunion Island) in the Indian Ocean, where these beans were grown and picked, this Bourbon vanilla bean paste exudes an exquisite aroma and boasts a sweet, creamy, and delicately floral flavor profile. Its concentrated potency renders it exceptionally economical for home cooks, requiring only a small quantity to imbue baked goods, desserts, and ice cream with tantalizing hints of vanilla bean specks.
