Mexican Vanilla
Villages around Papantla, ”the city that perfumed the world,“ and the Mexican gulf coast city of Vera Cruz, have been producing highly flavorful vanilla for over a thousand years. The sweet and spicy characteristics of this vanilla is enhanced with the slightest added touch of cinnamon, unlocking the hidden flavor notes of coconut on the back of your palate in this complex rich Mexican ice cream classic.

Choctal chocolate and vanilla ice creams are the only ice creams on the market that highlight the differences of vanilla and cacao grown in the different regional rain forests of the world. The chocolates are intense, distinct, with robust fully rounded flavors and are often compared to premium chocolate bars. The vanillas in the opinion of many surpass the chocolates with surprising differences. Choctal uses 2.5 to 3 times more cocoa/chocolate in our ice creams than other national manufactures. Choctal uses only pure 100% double fold vanilla extract, extracted from vanilla beans grown in numerous regional rain forests of the world, in our ice creams. We buy directly from farmers whenever possible and our Costa Rican Vanilla profile is the only vanilla in the world certified by the Rain Forest Alliance, www.rainforest-alliance.org |
