Reporter do you see tiny black bits, they are special ingredient that give philadelphia style ice cream its signature flavor and look. So what are they . Vanilla beans. Philly ice cream makers decided to add bean bits to mark as natural vanilla. Reporter all Natural Ingredient does not come cheap, it is second most expensive spices in the world. It smells amazing. Reporter this year it is even more pricey then usual according to eric burl, co founder of the franklin fountain in olde city. Typically in madagascar where 95 percent of all vanilla is grown there is a massive shortage in the the production. Reporter that shortage is impacting bottom line of businesses throughout the country including karen holmes bakery. In january, we paid 80 a pound for beans, in february, we paid 120 a pound for beans. Reporter and those spiking vanilla prices are forcing retail tours pass those added costs on to their customers. I believe, all prices are going to go up in the bakery and ice cream world, at the least, three to 5 percent. Reporter at franklin fountain they are doing their best to maintain prices on their most popular items. We were able to keep our single cone price the same this year as we have last year, and the year before that. Reporter they had increased prices on the larger sizes and bulk items.
