Vanilla absolute is vanilla in its most concentrated form. Due to its expensive nature, this absolute is usually reserved for very high end products. The scent of vanilla generates feelings of well being and relaxation.

This absolute is extracted from the bean with food grade grain alcohol and may be used for flavor, in aromatherapy and for fragrancing. Vanilla absolute offers a warm, sweet vanilla aroma, and its color is deep brown. It's a thick product which may need softening using Bain-Marie and/or dilution in a carrier oil.

(Vanilla planifolia) Country: Madagascar
