Vanilla Essence v/s Vanilla Extract

Vanilla Essence accounts for a larger market spread than Vanilla Extract due to reasons attribute to its elements in making- cost and resources.

As the name suggests, Vanilla essence gives you the essence of vanilla without using one instead incorporating artificial flavourings and colours to resemble the nuances of warm vanilla.

On the other hand, Vanilla Extract is made using actual vanilla beans that are soaked in alcohol or non-alcoholic mediums where the flavour is extracted by the liquid giving us a bold and warm base of Vanilla. Pure goodness!

What do we use in our Vanilla Brew? Essence or Extract

While a majority of the consumer market uses artificial flavouring under the covers of the essence. It is important as a consumer to be informed about what you intake. While most artificial food additives are not harmful to human health, we should avoid them wherever possible to steer clear of allergic reactions and food hypersensitivity.

We at Soly use high-quality Vanilla Extract in our Vanilla Cold Brew.
