Vanilla Bean Paste

BRING BACK A BRITISH TRADITION:

TANTALISING AFTERNOON TEA AT HOME

Award-winning NEW vanilla bean paste range from Porter Foods will add convenience and flavour to home baking!

Gourmet retailer Porter Foods (http://www.porterfoods.co.uk) has launched a practical, no-fuss, vanilla bean paste range. The range is perfect for creating delicious home-baked cakes, jams, ice cream and drinks for afternoon tea treats.

Targeted at home cooks as well as professional chefs, the Vanilla Bean Paste was recognised as a Fresh Ideas award winner at this year’s International Food Exhibition.

The Vanilla Bean Paste sachets with vanilla seeds provide an innovative, longer shelf-life alternative to single-use vanilla pods.

Porter Foods, the foodie’s Aladdin’s cave of carefully sourced products from around the world, has launched its own range of goodies under the ‘Porter Foods’ label. Made from flavoursome whole vanilla beans and sugar, the paste is now available online at www.porterfoods.co.uk in a convenient single serve sachet or as a squeezy bottle for easy use while cooking and baking.

Ready to use, one sachet equates to one standard vanilla bean pod. The handy 270g Vanilla Bean Paste squeezy bottle contains the equivalent of 30 vanilla pods. Both innovative new products provide the authentic taste and texture of vanilla beans and pods.

Many cooks find that using the whole vanilla bean gives a richer complexity of flavours and aromas compared to standard vanilla extract. The paste also puts an end to having to scrape the beans out of rather expensive little pods and wasting lots of important flavour.

Michael Patton, managing director at Porter Foods, said: “With vanilla being one of the world’s most popular flavours, cooks can ensure they always have fresh tasting whole bean vanilla to hand with Porter Foods Vanilla Bean Paste. Aromatic and sophisticated, the innovative vanilla paste will turn ordinary baked goods into gourmet treats.”
