How to store vanilla beans
Whatever their origin (Madagascar, Mexico, Tahiti),vanilla beansmust remain fat, supple and shiny. Storage is therefore essential. Opt for a cool, dry place . Avoid direct sunlight, which will degrade the quality of your beans. Instead, preserve their aromas by placing them in an airtight, opaque container. This will limit their desiccation.
Humidity is also an obstacle to the proper storage ofvanilla beans. Keep them away from all sources ofmoisture to reduce the risk of mildew. Under the right conditions, vanilla beans can be kept for over two years! NOROHY, the vanilla specialist, gives you a few tips on how to store your vanilla beans in well-sealed opaque jars, or by freezing them.
Preserve Madagascar vanilla powder
Vanilla powderis made exclusively from finely ground dried beans.NOROHY organic vanilla bean powder contains no other ingredients. In fact, it’s made exclusively fromunripe vanilla beans, preserving their full aroma.
To preserve its qualities, it is essential to protect it from light in an opaque, airtight jar. Store it in a UV-protected cupboard at a temperature between 16 and 18°C. Vanilla powder is specially designed not to add moisture to dry dough. Spare it from a damp environment, which would impair this characteristic. This would also increase the risk of mold formation. Be sure to reseal the jar after each use! Powdered vanilla beans have a shelf life of around one year.

If necessary, clean the cap after use to prevent the extract from crystallizing and interfering with the closure. Store your liquid vanilla extract in a cool, dark place. It will keep forup to three years. Shake the bottle well before each use, to mix the beans with the extract. Vanilla beans do not have the same density as extract, and can clump together at the top of the bottle.
