Centaur Vanilla Extract 600ml

Vanilla Extract

Centaur Vanilla Extract 600ml is a versatile vanilla flavouring for everyday baking and desserts, made to give a full, rounded vanilla taste without taking over the rest of the recipe. It is ideal when you want that familiar vanilla warmth in sponge cakes, biscuits, custards and creams, but it also works brilliantly in drinks like vanilla lattes, milkshakes and simple dessert cocktails. The flavour comes from vanilla extract made with vanilla beans, blended into a sweet syrup base so it mixes in easily and gives consistent results from batch to batch.

Key Features:

• Sugar syrup base from sugar beet.
• Contains vanilla extract made with vanilla beans at 6.7%.
• Alcohol content 3% ABV.
• Works in desserts, sauces and beverages.
• Size: 600ml

Recipe Inspiration:

• Stir into crème brûlée or baked custard for a classic vanilla finish that pairs beautifully with berries.
• Add to buttercream and use it to fill and ice cupcakes, layer cakes or vanilla traybakes.
• Mix into whipped cream with a little icing sugar for a quick vanilla Chantilly to spoon over brownies or fruit.
• Blend into a vanilla latte or iced coffee at home for a café style flavour without needing a separate vanilla syrup.

How much vanilla extract should I use in cakes and buttercream?

For many home baking recipes, 1 teaspoon is a solid starting point for a standard cake mixture or a simple buttercream, then you can adjust by taste depending on how vanilla forward you want it. Plenty of popular cake and frosting recipes sit in the 1 to 2 teaspoon range.

Does vanilla extract contain alcohol?

Many vanilla extracts use alcohol because it is an effective way to extract flavour compounds from vanilla beans. This Centaur Vanilla Extract contains alcohol at 3 percent ABV, which is shown on the ingredients list.

What is the difference between vanilla extract and vanilla essence?

Vanilla extract is generally a less processed product made from vanilla, while vanilla essence is often made using flavourings and tends to taste simpler. If you want a more natural vanilla character in baking and desserts, extract is usually the better choice.

Ingredients:

Sugar Syrup (Sugar beet origin), Vanilla Extract (Vanilla beans 6.7%), Alcohol 3% ABV (sugar beat origin)
