The recipes of the Thiercelin family are conceived, developed and then made in its manufacture. Its expertise, passed down from father to son, has earned it the title of Master Artisan and the EPV (Living Heritage Company) state label.
Description
This tonka bean is oblong, very slightly compressed, and measures 3 to 4 cm long and 1 cm wide. Its brown, almost black and shiny shell is marked by longitudinal wrinkles. It contains an odorless, colorless and highly aromatic substance with a burning flavor.
The tonka bean is grated like nutmeg and should be used in very small quantities. Its coumarin, vanilla-almond fragrance is ideal with chocolate, cakes and brioche breads. Try it with shellfish or in a vegetable or potato purée.

Understanding the best before date
The best before date, or minimum durability date, corresponds to the mention "Best before...". It indicates the period during which the product retains its qualities, notably its taste and aromas. This is not a use-by date (UDB): a passed best before date does not automatically mean that the product must be thrown away, provided that the packaging is intact and that the storage conditions have been respected. Spices may, however, lose their aromatic intensity over time.
