Commercial extract is made from vanilla planifolia, that is true. But you can also use these smaller pompona beans that contain a smaller percentage of vanillin. You could actually see it crystalize on the bean during the initial phase of the curing process.

The beans need to marinate 1-2 months before the extract is ready. These have only been sitting for about 2-3 weeks. Tastes like mostly vodka right now. Faint vanilla smell.
