FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between vanilla powder and whole pods or liquid extract?
- The powder offers precise dosing and direct incorporation without prior preparation. Unlike the pod (which requires splitting and scraping), the powder distributes instantly and evenly. Unlike liquid extract (which alters the moisture of the preparation), it adds no liquid, which is especially valuable in biscuit, viennoiserie, and dry dough chocolate making.
- What dosage should be used compared to a whole pod?
- The recommended dosage is 3 to 6 g per kg of preparation. For reference, a Norohy vanilla pod weighs on average 2 to 3 g once dried: 1 g of powder roughly corresponds to the aromatic content of half a pod. For a recipe calling for 1 pod, start with 2 to 3 g of powder and adjust according to the desired intensity.
- Can it be used in liquid preparations or only in dry doughs?
- The powder can be incorporated into all types of preparations: dry doughs (cookies, shortbread, brioche dough), liquid preparations (creams, milks, sauces), ganaches, and melted chocolate. Its fineness (particle size under 500 µm) ensures homogeneous dissolution without any perceptible residue in the mouth.
- Why choose organic vanilla from Madagascar?
- Madagascar Planifolia vanilla (called Bourbon) is the global standard for its round, woody, and deep aromas, with a high natural vanillin content. Organic certification guarantees the absence of synthetic pesticides. Norohy works directly with Malagasy producers within a sustainable and traceable supply chain, ensuring consistent quality and verifiable origin.
