Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Pure Vanilla Bean Paste

Nielsen-Massey blends pure Madagascar vanilla with real specks from vanilla pods to create this versatile paste. Thanks to its thick consistency (similar to molasses), you can add more vanilla flavor without thinning out batters or sauces. Plus, it adds the enticing visual flair of vanilla bean specks—the mark of top-quality desserts.
Nielsen-Massey’s proprietary cold extraction process preserves the more than 400 flavor compounds contained in natural vanilla to create the distinctive flavor that’s prized in professional bakeries and home kitchens alike. Hands-down, this is the finest vanilla available—you’ll find it in all our baking classes.
Vanilla is one of the world’s most labor-intensive flavors, demanding a human touch at each step during the 18-month growing process. Nielsen-Massey has built solid, long-term supplier relationships that provide access to the world’s highest-quality beans. Skilled farmers hand-pollinate vanilla vines daily and pick beans when they are at their peak. Beans are then hand cured for six to eight months to cultivate complex flavors. Each bean is carefully evaluated for quality, so that each of Nielsen-Massey’s vanilla products delivers distinctive, pure vanilla flavor that customers have enjoyed for more than 100 years.
