Frontier Discovers Gourmet Vanilla Beans & Extracts in Unlikely Places
New Vanillas from Uganda, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia Feature Exotic and Distinct Flavors
Norway, Iowa (Vocus/PRWEB ) February 13, 2008 -- Plain vanilla is definitely not the way to describe the new Gourmet Vanilla line from Frontier Natural Products Co-op. The exotic premium vanillas offer divergent flavor profiles from the three premier vanilla-producing regions of Uganda, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. Each new vanilla is available as both an extract and whole beans.
"Our sourcing experts searched the globe for these extraordinary vanillas," says Brett Karminski, Frontier's seasonings brand manager. "They found three gourmet-quality vanillas with distinct taste nuances that allow cooks to explore different aspects of the world's most popular flavor."
Climate and growing conditions in each region create unique flavors for each of the vanilla beans, ranging from fruity and floral to woody and robust. The organic Ugandan vanilla has a sweet, smooth and subtle flavor that makes it an exotic substitute for everyday-Bourbon vanilla. The vanilla from Papua New Guinea is extra sweet and features floral notes, making it perfect for desserts and sauces. Because of the way organic Indonesian vanilla beans are cured, their flavor holds up at high temperatures. It partners well with chocolate and other rich ingredients -- an ideal vanilla for baking.
"As the leading brand of baking flavors in natural foods, we wanted to use our expertise in sourcing and quality testing to provide some truly remarkable vanillas," says Karminski. "The varying flavor profiles of these three gourmet vanillas provide world-class quality while inviting exploration of their differences."
Frontier Gourmet Vanillas are available now. The suggested retail price is $6.49 for the beans and $11.99 for the extracts.
