Indonesian Pure Vanilla Extract is crafted from premium, hand-selected Indonesian vanilla beans. Unlike many other vanillas, it offers more flavor stability, making it the perfect choice for high-heat and slow-baked applications. This extract complements the sweetness in chocolate- and dairy-based recipes, providing a valuable flavor boost with a robust and upfront flavor profile with woody, smoky notes. It pairs beautifully with cakes, cookies, muffins, ice cream, hot chocolate and milkshakes. The intense flavor also mellows out savory recipes when used in barbecue sauces, chilis and meat-based dishes.

Nielsen-Massey’s proprietary cold extraction process preserves the more than 400 flavor compounds in natural vanilla to create the distinctive flavor 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 a distinctive, pure vanilla flavor that customers have enjoyed for more than 100 years.
