Make vanilla extract to share with your friends and family.

Vanilla splits are the best kept secret in the vanilla world! These grade of pods are the most expensive and have the most flavor. How? Due to their lack of moisture they are brittle and ugly, so consumers don't want them. But the commercial extract companies knows this means they are higher in vanillin, the compound that give your extract it's flavor! Splits infuse faster, with a darker color and a robust flavor.

Directions: Inspect your splits and slice in half any pods that are still intact. Then split evenly between the bottles included. Cover with alcohol and wait! Extract is usable in two months; wait up to six for the fullest flavor. 

What's Included in your kit:

What else do you need? Minimum 80-proof alcohol, a pint mason jar, and a lot of time!

The extract kit does not include gift labels. Add your style of labels here.

What are vanilla splits and cuts? 

These are vanilla pods that split on the vine and are no longer whole; they cannot be sold as gourmet beans. Usually splits & cuts go directly to commercial buyers in the beverage industry. Gneiss Spice is excited to offer this affordable product direct to consumers. 

  1. Exceptional Value: Vanilla splits & cuts cost half as much as whole beans, making gourmet quality accessible to everyone.
  2. Rich Flavor: These beans are very dry, but that's what makes them exceptional for extract and paste. They have a higher vanillin content, so they infuse faster with a more intense flavor.
  3. Eco-Friendly: By choosing vanilla splits or cuts, you're reducing food waste and supporting responsible sourcing. Splits/cuts are packaged in compostable, plant-based packaging.

Note: Due to their lack of moisture, vanilla splits/cuts do not have a strong smell. 

Refill packaging is not meant for long-term storage! Transfer to airtight container if you do not make extract soon.

How many vanilla pods are in a pack of "splits"? The splits/cuts are not whole pods, though some whole pods may be included. The beans are broken or "split" in half, and the "cuts" are additionally cut into 2" pieces. The product cover photo is of a hand holding 47 gram of vanilla cuts. We estimate it's about 25-40 small beans per pack.
