Tørsleffs Bourbon Vaniljestænger

Tørsleffs is a historic Danish baking brand famous for its high-quality ingredients used in traditional Scandinavian kitchens. These specific vanilla pods, marketed as Bourbon Vaniljestænger, are sourced from Madagascar, which is world-renowned for producing the premium Bourbon variety of vanilla beans. The beans are harvested, cured, and packaged in protective glass or plastic tubes to maintain their moisture and aromatic profile.

The brand was originally established in Denmark by Victor B. Tørsleff in the early 20th century. Over the decades, it became a household staple, particularly known for its 'Housewife' service and recipe booklets. Today, the brand is owned by the Haugen-Gruppen Nordics, a major international food distribution company that manages a variety of retail and catering brands across the Nordic region. While the vanilla itself is grown in Madagascar, the brand remains a quintessentially Danish icon under the umbrella of its Norwegian and Nordic parent company.
