Crescendo Bourbon Blend Vanilla Bean Paste – 32 oz. Professional Grade

Crescendo Bourbon Blend Vanilla Bean Paste is a high-performance flavoring solution designed for the rigorous demands of professional pastry kitchens. This "Puree" style paste offers a rich, concentrated Bourbon vanilla profile—characterized by its creamy, sweet, and woody undertones—combined with the visual elegance of real vanilla bean specks. Crescendo’s formula provides a slightly thicker viscosity than standard extracts, ensuring that the vanilla seeds stay perfectly suspended in your batters, sauces, and creams without altering the consistency of your recipe.

Why It Works

• Balanced Bourbon Profile: Expertly blended to deliver a consistent, deep vanilla flavor that holds its integrity during both high-heat baking and cold-process applications.

• Suspended Seed Technology: The paste is formulated to ensure an even distribution of real vanilla specks, providing a "from-scratch" look to every dish.

• Recipe Stability: The concentrated puree format allows for intense flavoring with minimal liquid addition, preventing "breaking" in delicate emulsions like ganache or buttercream.

• Time-Saving Convenience: Offers the flavor and visual impact of scraped vanilla pods without the labor-intensive prep or high cost of individual beans.

• Bulk Versatility: The 32 oz. format is perfectly sized for professional kitchens, providing a balanced cost-per-ounce for daily production.

Use Cases

• Patisserie Foundations: Elevate standard pastry creams and custards with a rich aroma and visible vanilla bean seeds.

• Artisanal Dairy: A staple for high-end vanilla bean ice cream and gelato where a premium visual "fleck" is required.

• Confectionery: Ideal for flavoring white chocolate ganache or marshmallow fluff with a sophisticated, layered vanilla profile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• What is a "Bourbon Blend"? It refers to a curated blend of vanilla beans that replicate the classic, creamy profile of Madagascar vanilla, optimized for consistent flavor strength.

• How do I substitute this for extract? You can use it in a 1:1 ratio. 1 teaspoon of paste equals 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

• Is there sugar in the paste? Yes, vanilla pastes use a sugar-syrup base to keep the seeds suspended and preserve the aromatic compounds.

• Why can't I refrigerate it? Cold temperatures can cause the sugar base to crystallize, making the paste gritty. Always store at room temperature.

• Does it contain alcohol? Like all pure vanilla products, a small amount of alcohol is used during the extraction process to carry the flavor.

• Can this be used in clear frostings? It will add a slight amber tint and visible seeds. If a pure white look is required, a clear extract would be better.
