Details
Madagascar vanilla beans are processed using the "Bourbon" curing method. These vanilla beans are very distinct, with a flavor and aroma profile that make these beans the most popular and sought after vanilla variety.
**Please Note: When purchasing vanilla beans by weight, please be aware that you may not receive the exact number of beans you are expecting from our estimates. Like any agricultural product, our vanilla beans have the potential to vary in length & size from crop-to-crop. If you need to ensure that you receive an exact quantity of whole beans we recommend purchasing a specific quantity amount.**

Fantastic beans!
I've now ordered Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans twice from Beanilla. Both times they've delivered fresh (soft) beans packaged well, and they along with the vodka, are making some awesome vanilla extract that I use constantly for all of my baking needs.
No doubt I will continue to order my vanilla beans from Beanilla!

Grade B Madagascar
I am thrilled to discover these beans for making vanilla extract. They are perfect for this process. Their color and flavor was almost immediately perfused, and I can tell that after a few months the extract will be strong, rich and flavorful. Thank you!

The beans came quickly. I've split them and added to bourbon . . . now I wait for a few months to see how my vanilla extract tastes. I would order from this company again.

I have bought from Beanilla
I have bought from Beanilla many times this is 1st for the Grade B Madagascar Vanilla Beans. I was somewhat disappointed. The Grade B are much slimmer have a more dried out look to them the bean pulp wasn't as generous as the grade A. So now I know what to expect in buying the Grade B but was told this is the best purchase for extracts. I felt I needed to increase the amount of beans b4 capping the bottle. Maybe my understanding of Grade B set my expectations too high.

Excellent quality! Immediately upon splitting and adding liquid, my vanilla extract is imbued with a gorgeous color and scent! The hardest part is waiting 6-12 months to use it...

Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans Grade B
My beans are still "cooking" in the alcohol (6 more weeks to go) but I really appreciate the quality of the beans and how quickly they arrived. This is my second set of beans. I thought the vanilla created from the first batch was top notch so I know this second batch will be good too! Thanks!

Disappointed in Grade B
I purchased the grade "B" of the Madagascar Vanilla beans to make my own vanilla. I expected the beans to be smaller and not so plump, but I did not expect to receive so many vanilla beans that were 3". I contacted customer service and received the email stating that they received my message, but to date have not heard back from them. I don't think I would purchase grade B again after this experience. When I previously purchased grade A, the beans were fabulous. I did not expect the same beans, but I certainly expected them to all be similar and at least close enough to compare to the picture that they have posted showing grade A versus grade B.

Works as good as grade A
When making homemade vanilla I always use the Madagascar grade B beans. Since I use 15 - 18 beans per batch it is cost saving & taste just as good.

Q: So why has the price for 8 oz of grade B Madagascar gone from $42.95 to $182.75 in a year and a half?
A: Hello,
Thank you for your question, with a world wide shortage of vanilla beans for the last 18 months, the supply of vanilla has been about 40% of a normal year. Also with the shortage, commercial extract makers have been buying vanilla beans before they are cured and taking a chance that they will turn out. This has steadily driven the price of vanilla way up. This lot of Madagascar vanilla beans, grade B are the first ones we have had in stock in over a year. With a recent cyclone hitting the island of Madagascar in March, the crops are going to suffer again, we are doing our best to offer a quality product at an affordable price.

Q: 10/27/15 I bought 1/2 pound of Grade B Madagascar for $42.95. Now they're 182.75 ???????????
A: Hello,
Thank you for your question, for the last year and a half there has been a world wide shortage of vanilla beans. Weather and bad crops have limited the supplies of all different types of vanilla beans. The cost of all of our beans have more than tripled over the last 18 months.

Q: Whenever you have a sale, the products are "out of stock". Is there some sort of "rain check" we can get for when they do come back in stock. I've been making vanilla for years for my Bed and Breakfast and running out isn't a good thing and paying full price doesn't make it practical now that the prices are so high.
A: Hello,
Thank you for your question, with the vanilla shortage we have not been able to bing in any of the Madagascar vanilla beans, grade B and we do not have a date to do so this year. The crops have been only about 40% of what they were the previous year.

Q: I am so disappointed that the Madagascar Grade B beans have been out of stock for so long! What is the reason? I absolutely love these for making my own vanilla! Thank you.
A: Thank you for your email,
With the Madagascar vanilla 2015 crop being less than 50% of the 2014 crop, there is a drastic shortage of vanilla beans, the grade Bs are being purchased for commercial use leaving the retailers with very little to offer our customers. We will not have the Madagascar grade B beans this year, we are hoping to bring in a supply the first quarter of next year.
We do currently offer the Mexican vanilla bean,grade B, the flavor characteristics are similar and these will make a great homemade vanilla extract.

Q: Is this the best vanilla bean (Madagascar grade B instead of grade A) to grind with sugar to have vanilla sugar? or is grade A better? any other suggestions? thanks
A: Great question! If you are looking to make vanilla sugar with the caviar contents of the vanilla bean, then I would recommend using Grade A, as Grade B will not yield the caviar content that comes with Grade A. However, Grade B can be used as well to make vanilla sugar. The following link takes you to our two different vanilla sugar recipes: Quick Vanilla Sugar (Grade A used) and Aged Vanilla Sugar (Grade A or Grade B post extracted vanilla beans).

Thank you for your question, with the Madagascar vanilla beans, grade B, you will find that the size and thickness will vary a great deal. We received a shipment of Mexican grade Bs that were all around the 3" mark. The main thing is the oil content will always be there, it may take a few extra beans to make the homemade extract, but they will be good enough to to do the job.
