Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this product “pure”?

To be classified as “Pure” by the FDA, extracts must meet a set of strict requirements. These requirements include that pure vanilla extract must contain 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon of liquid and be 35% alcohol. The agency also limits the permissible ingredients beyond beans and alcohol. We use the “Pure” classification because we only use all-natural ingredients and follow FDA guidelines for creating our extracts.

How does Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract differ from Pure Vanilla Extract?

Our Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract is produced using only premium, hand-selected beans cultivated in Madagascar, widely regarded as the world’s highest quality vanilla, and has a rich, sweet and creamy vanilla flavor. Our Pure Vanilla Extract uses a proprietary blend of high-quality vanilla beans grown around the world and is specially formulated to provide a classic vanilla flavor profile.

Why is there sugar in the extract?

Sugar is one of five permissible ingredients the FDA allows in pure vanilla extracts. It helps in the extraction process by keeping the extracted vanilla compounds in suspension, aiding in product clarity. We use 100% all-natural, crystalized cane sugar for its reliable quality and taste. The sugar content in our extract makes up less than 5% of the finished product, an amount that is nutritionally insignificant when a small quantity is added to a dish. We do not add any extra sugar after the extraction process.

What is the origin of this vanilla?

The vanilla beans used to create our Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract are sourced from the island of Madagascar, located just off the southeastern coast of Africa. Madagascar is the world’s leading supplier of vanilla beans, and we hand-select the beans used to ensure the finished product is of the highest quality.

Is there bourbon whiskey in this product?

No, the term Bourbon is only a geographic reference to where the vanilla beans are sourced. The Bourbon Islands–Madagascar, Comoro, Réunion, Seychelles and Mauritius–are located off the eastern coast of Africa. While there is a small amount of alcohol in our extracts due to our production process, most it will either be cooked off during preparation or spread throughout the entirety of your dish.

Product Description

Our third-generation family business has crafted premium vanilla products since 1907. Each vanilla bean is hand-picked, hand-cured and carefully inspected to ensure it meets our strict quality standards. We then use a proprietary cold extraction process to preserve more than 300 delicate flavor compounds to consistently deliver the richest tasting vanilla from around the world.

Vanilla Bean Paste can be used as a direct replacement for Vanilla Extract when you want the distinctive look of vanilla bean specks. Toss it with strawberries and serve with whipped cream for a delicious, fruity dessert.

Application Inspiration:

• Sweet ideas: crème anglaise, crème brûlée, custards, puddings, gelato, ice cream, sauces, honey-vanilla spread

• Savory ideas: glazes for poultry, seafood and pork

• Beverage ideas: milkshakes, coffee flavoring

• Other ideas: add to oatmeal and yogurt

We are proud to provide clean and safe ingredients without sacrificing flavor. All Nielsen-Massey products are All-Natural, Allergen-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified and Certified Kosher and Gluten-Free.

5 Stars
Worth its weight in gold!
If you think vanilla extract is good when baking you’ve not tried paste. The best flavor you can get. I make my own extract but was hesitant on making paste s I figured I would buy some first before I waste 4oz of my beans making a paste I might not like. I love it and to me worth its weight in gold!
Thank you for your feedback
