Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vanilla powder and a whole vanilla bean or liquid extract?
The powder offers precise dosing and can be incorporated directly without any prior preparation. Unlike a bean, which needs to be split and scraped, it distributes instantly and evenly. Unlike liquid extract, which changes the moisture content of the preparation, it adds no liquid, which is valuable in biscuit making, viennoiserie, and chocolate making with dry mixtures.
What dosage should be used compared with a whole vanilla bean?
The recommended dosage is 3 to 6 g per kg of preparation. A Norohy vanilla bean weighs an average of 2 to 3 g once dried: 1 g of powder corresponds approximately to the aromatic content of half a bean. For a recipe calling for 1 bean, start with 2 to 3 g of powder and adjust according to the desired intensity.
Can it be used in liquid preparations, or only in dry mixtures?
The powder can be incorporated into all types of preparations: dry mixtures (biscuits, shortbread, brioche dough), liquid preparations (creams, milk, sauces), ganaches, and melted chocolate. Its fine texture ensures even dissolution without any noticeable residue in the mouth.
What is the difference compared with the 10 g format?
The composition is identical. The 10 g format is suitable for occasional use or testing the dosage, while the 500 g bag is intended for regular professional production and offers a more advantageous cost per kilo.
