Why does your Red Label Vanilla say ‘Essence Extract’? Is it real vanilla extract?

Our Red Label Vanilla is one of our oldest Vanilla products. For a long time, the term ‘essence’ implied the natural concentrated form of Vanilla. Over time, the term ‘extract’ has come to be used to describe pure vanilla instead. We keep the word essence on the label so that our long-standing customers still recognise this Vanilla as the one they have been buying for 30+ years, however this product is a true Vanilla Extract from premium quality Vanilla Beans.
