Virgil's Cream Soda is a classic cream soda recipe made
naturally using the finest vanilla beans and unrefined cane
sugar. For years, we have been making Virgil's Root Beer, a
three-time Outstanding Beverage Award winner of the National
Association of the Specialty Food Trade (the national
organization for the gourmet food trade). We decided to make a
cream soda that would rival the super premium quality of our
root beer.
Our first step was to research vanilla the main
ingredient of cream soda. We found that the Totonaco Indians of
Mexico were the first to cultivate and use vanilla beans. When
the Aztecs defeated them, they demanded the Totonaco relinquish
their vanilla cultivating secrets. Then the Spanish conquered
the Aztecs around 1600 and vanilla was introduced to Europe for
the first time. For the next century, only the nobility enjoyed
vanilla in delicious beverages. Now vanilla beans are grown in
four major regions of the world: Indonesia, Madagascar, Tahiti,
and Mexico. Only the finest vanilla beans are used in our cream
soda recipe. Also, keeping with our philosophy here at Virgil's,
we make this product without preservatives or any artificial
ingredients. We hope you will find this to be the best cream
soda you have ever tasted.
