Beanilla.com review continued from the previous page....
Madagascar Planifolia (Grade A - $22.50 per 1/4 pound)
These are the highest quality Madagascar beans I've reviewed. A spicy Madagascar vanilla aroma, with the brightness of "true" cinnamon. What really differentiates these from other Madagascar beans is their uniform plumpness. Take a look at the first picture -- not a scrawny bean in the bunch. All the Beanilla beans were exceptionally oily, and these are no exception. The caviar texture is typical for Madagascar vanilla, but I'm a bit surprised by the moderate caviar yield considering the size of these beans.
PNG Tahitensis (Grade A - $15.99 per 1/4 pound)
Beanilla's tahitensis are uniformly plump, oily, almost perfect vanilla beans. These are superior, gourmet quality tahitensis, and this is reflected in the price. Sometimes beans are quite thin, flat, and vary in size, these are plump, wide, and uniform. Take a look at the 'pile' picture below, this shot is intended to give you a good closeup view of the bean profile. These have the typical tahitensis floral aroma. The caviar is spongy, light, and airy, with a medium-sized yield. Oil from these beans is red/brown -- caviar usually leaves a yellowish oil -- see the picture. Really amazing vanilla beans.
