The "good old boy" conventional vanilla oil buyers and their companies do not care for the ancient techniques, because time is money for them. For example, they buy average to low quality beans, mix them and percolate with alcohol to make vanilla extract in only one week. The traditional maceration, on the other hand, with alcohol takes over 3 months (up to a year is best) to produce aged vanilla extract. This can be done at home with a good vodka and cured quality beans placed in a warm place and shaken daily. Vanilla sugar used by our grandmothers can be made by chopping up 3 beans in one cm. pieces and placing in your sugar bowl. Keeping the beans covered continually with sugar will "sweeten" the sugar with vanilla aroma for years on end.
