Nielsen-Massey Vanillas has been sharing the world's finest, sustainably sourced flavors from our family to yours for more than a century. Culinary professionals and home cooks agree, you can taste the difference.

Our focus on quality begins by sourcing Grade A premium gourmet vanilla beans from our network of trusted suppliers in the world's best regions for vanilla growing. Our team closely examines each bean to ensure it meets our exacting quality standards, often rejecting more than we purchase. We then use a cold-extraction process to preserve the 300 plus flavor compounds found in the vanilla pod.

Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste is made with our Pure Vanilla Extract, real vanilla beans, and a thickener to give it a molasses-like consistency. You can use it as a 1:1 replacement for vanilla extract in any of your favorite recipes – it will give them a distinctive, gourmet look with real vanilla bean specks. Additionally, it's the perfect solution for sauces, soups and marinades when you want to add rich vanilla flavor without watering down the consistency.

Other application ideas include:

• Sweet: crème anglaise, crème brûlée, custards, puddings, gelato, ice cream, oatmeal

• Savory: glazes for poultry, seafood and pork, yogurt

• Beverage: milkshakes, coffee flavoring
