UK-based Synergy Flavours has announced the launch of the latest in its range of organic flavours: an organic vanilla extract made from Bourbon vanilla beans sourced in Madagascar.

The company, which recently opened a new £5m (US$9.0m) facility in High Wycombe, said a significant issue in developing the product had been sourcing the organic vanilla beans. Working with supply chain partners, Synergy developed strong links into the organic vanilla bean market.
“One of our objectives is to be able to get vanilla beans from known farmers, so that the provenance of the extract becomes even deeper,” said Synergy’s Crispin Gell.
Perfecting the extraction of the flavour took several more months of research. The resulting extract was approved by the Soil Association earlier this year.
Synergy Flavours is part of Irish food group Carbery.
