Rodelle Reserve Vanilla Extract

Rodelle Reserve is a double-fold, oak-aged Pure Vanilla Extract. Every batch starts with hand-selected Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans chosen for exceptional vanillin content, ideal moisture, and complex aroma. The extraction is done in small batches to ensure every bottle delivers the richest, most nuanced vanilla character possible. And, each premium glass bottle contains one gourmet vanilla bean for added vanilla impact.

If you’re making a vanilla layer cake, crème brûlée, premium ice cream, or vanilla buttercream, this is the extract to reach for.

• Hand-Selected Beans: Only the finest Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans from each harvest.
• Small-Batch Production including a gourmet vanilla bean in each bottle.
• Two-fold, double-strength Pure Extract: Vanilla bean extractives, water, and alcohol. Gourmet Vanilla Bean.
• No Artificial Flavors | No Added Sugar | No Corn Syrup
• Aged for the best vanilla flavor

In wine, “reserve” signals the producer’s best barrels, selectively chosen, more carefully crafted, offered at the top of the range. Rodelle Reserve applies the same philosophy to vanilla.

Standard vanilla extract is made with quality vanilla beans processed at volume. Rodelle Reserve starts with the selection step: only beans with the highest vanillin concentration, optimal moisture, and superior aromatic complexity are used. The extraction happens in smaller batches, allowing for a richer final product.

Rodelle Reserve is a two-fold (double strength) vanilla which means it is twice as strong as most pure vanilla extracts (generally a one-fold). We also French Oak Aged and add a rich Gourmet Vanilla Bean to each bottle for even more flavor.

The result is an extract that’s noticeably deeper and more complex, with the warm, creamy Madagascar Bourbon character intensified. In recipes where vanilla is the featured flavor (not just background), the difference is apparent.

Best applications for Rodelle Reserve:

• Vanilla layer cake and vanilla sheet cake
• Classic crème brûlée and crème anglaise
• Vanilla bean ice cream
• Vanilla buttercream and Swiss meringue frosting
• Panna cotta and custards
• Vanilla shortbread cookies

Q: What’s the difference between Rodelle Reserve and standard Rodelle Vanilla Extract?
A: Rodelle Reserve is a two-fold vanilla extract – meaning twice the vanilla beans are used per bottle compared to Rodelle Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract. Both use single-origin vanilla beans, but Rodelle Reserve uses twice the amount.

Q: Is this pure vanilla or does it contain artificial flavors?
A: Pure vanilla only. Vanilla bean extractives, water, and alcohol, nothing else. No artificial flavors, no corn syrup, no added sugar.

Q: Is Rodelle Reserve worth the price premium over regular vanilla extract?
A: For everyday baking (cookies, quick breads, pancakes), standard pure vanilla extract is the right choice. For vanilla-forward recipes, vanilla cake, ice cream, crème brûlée, and frosting, Rodelle Reserve’s superior flavor complexity is genuinely noticeable and worth the upgrade.

Q: Where do the beans for Rodelle Reserve come from?
A: Madagascar, the Bourbon vanilla growing region in northeastern Madagascar, which produces the world’s finest vanilla beans. The Reserve beans are hand-selected from the best of each season’s harvest.
