With Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, you’ll have more options to dial in the exact vanilla flavor you need. Custom-build the perfect blend for your application with our five single-origin pure vanilla extracts. Each offers distinct flavors, aromas and applicational benefits associated with their unique local climates, soil and cultivation practices.
We start our extraction process by hand-selecting our beans for freshness and rich aroma to ensure they deliver peak flavor. We then protect that flavor throughout our proprietary cold extraction process for 1, 2, 3 and 4-fold vanilla extracts. The process takes weeks and is gentle enough to preserve 300 delicate flavor notes.
Like cold-brewed coffee or cold-pressed olive oil, the flavor of cold-extracted vanilla is more complex and robust. Nielsen-Massey Vanillas products deliver a fast flavor release and include spice and other flavor notes absent from competitors.
Additionally, we use the minimum allowable volume of sugar cane alcohol (35% required by FDA) for optimum flavor impact.
Backed by three generations of vanilla-crafting expertise and an experienced team of blending specialists, we are standing by to support your specific product formulations with custom flavor blends that bring out the very best in manufacturing performance and sensory appeal. We offer:
• Blending of vanillas from different regions
• Fractional folds
• Fold-strengths greater than 4x
We’re ready to partner with you throughout the new product development process, including pilot plant testing and troubleshooting.
Proprietary cold extraction makes Nielsen-Massey the vanilla of choice for premium ice cream and frozen desserts, as well as other cold applications like flavored milks, creamers, cream cheeses and yogurts. Ask about our original Bourbon-Indonesian blend, which was custom-crafted for the perfect balance of creamy notes to complement the richness of dairy, plus bolder breakthrough notes to ensure robust flavor even in a high-butterfat mixture.
We’re proud to work with top chocolate manufacturers from around the world. In addition to our cost-effective single, double and triple-strength extracts, we offer dry formats such as whole and ground beans, which are preferred by some confectioners for their powerful flavor delivery without the presence of liquid and alcohol.

Because of our global sourcing network, we’re uniquely positioned to craft the ideal vanilla extract blend to meet your specific formulation needs.

Our Pure Vanilla Pastes provide the same taste as our pure vanilla extracts. Made with real vanilla bean specs, they also provide the visual appeal of using a vanilla bean. They are a convenient way to deliver a robust flavor boost with minimal liquid — ideal for sensitive batters and sauces.
We produce our all-natural powders through a proprietary process using Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, along with a dry maltodextrin-based carrier, to create a free-flowing powder. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail ensure they deliver a rich vanilla taste. This powder is ideal for dry mixes, liquid or color-sensitive products, such as icings or flavoring for beverages.
Our whole and ground premium vanilla beans are the product of months of attentive sun-curing and careful handling. Our supplier relationships go back decades to ensure we have access to top-quality beans, and we hand-select ours for their freshness and rich fragrance. We offer single-origin beans in three varieties, each with its own unique flavor profile. Additionally, we offer non-origin specific beans and organic beans. Ground beans provide an easy-to-use, clean and simple alternative to extracts, with potent flavor and no liquid or alcohol.
Our gourmet flavors meet the same high standard of quality, consistency and potency that Nielsen-Massey is known for. Every flavor we offer is all-natural and non-GMO, produced from fresh ingredients sourced from around the world.
