Melipone ®Mexican Vanilla

Melipone Mexican Vanilla

Melipone® Mexican Vanilla is an authentic Mexican formulation over three quarters of a century old that is made in New Orleans by Chef Reginald. It is named after the Mexican Melipona bee which pollinates the vanilla orchid. In Mexico, as in other warm climates, consumers demand more vanilla flavor intensity. This concentrated vanilla is 3-4 times stronger than ordinary vanilla and has a full-bodied, rich and creamy taste. Its unique formulation has a distinctive and delicious flavor and aroma which is retained at high baking temperatures as well as at the sub-zero temperatures of ice creams. It is especially delicious when added to coffee, milk, and other beverages.
