Kidwarp’s Vanilla Shop is bringing quality homemade BitPaste from our kitchen to yours. We source premium organic Madagascar vanilla beans and beans from around the world to highlight the different flavors each origin brings. Everything is made in small batches using traditional extraction methods, with no shortcuts and no quick-brew process. The beans are chopped by hand and left to macerate for at least two months in choice spirits before being blended into premium BitPaste. Use BitPaste as a 1:1 replacement for vanilla extract in any recipe, add it to coffee or tea, bake it into cookies or ice cream, or experiment with savory dishes.
