What is the smell of Castoreum?

After learning this, many vowed never to consume anything with vanilla in it, and before you promise to do so too, you would be delighted to know that 90% of the vanilla flavoring we consume today isn’t from the Beavers.

Castoreum is not used today in any form of the vanilla sold for human consumption.

Now, there are several ways of getting this flavor that does not involve “Beaver’s butt,” so you can heave a sigh of relief as the Beavers are no doubt doing, knowing your vanilla flavoring does not contain any animal juice. So how is vanilla flavoring now gotten?

Today’s vanilla flavoring is made in a laboratory through the use of refined petrochemicals.

The substance responsible for this flavor’s distinct taste and smell can be created, this process usually involves combining two different chemicals, and the flavor is gotten.

There are also natural ways of getting this flavor. One of these methods is using a particular fungus that converts sugar to vanillin, which is used as flavoring.

Vanilla pods are another way of extracting this flavor, although they are pretty expensive.
