Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract - 32 oz. Professional Grade

Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract is the industry benchmark for quality, crafted using a proprietary cold-extraction process that preserves the more than 300 delicate flavor compounds found in vanilla beans. Unlike mass-produced extracts that use heat, Nielsen-Massey allows the vanilla to age for weeks in a gentle water-and-alcohol solution, resulting in a full-bodied, sweet, and creamy flavor profile with velvety after-tones. This 32 oz. (Quart) bottle is the essential choice for professional kitchens that require a consistent, high-impact vanilla flavor for everyday production.

As a Canadian seller based in Calgary, Alberta, we provide these world-class extracts with fast shipping across Canada to support bakeries, pastry shops, and culinary professionals who refuse to compromise on quality.

Why It Works

• Cold Extraction Mastery: By avoiding high-temperature processing, this extract retains the complex, floral, and woody notes of the vanilla orchid.

• Balanced "Bourbon" Profile: Features a versatile flavor that complements both sweet and savory ingredients without being overpowered by sugar.

• Superior Concentration: A little goes a long way; its potent aroma survives the baking process, ensuring your finished products smell as good as they taste.

• Reliable Consistency: Every bottle is standardized to the same high-strength concentration, ensuring recipe results are identical across every batch.

• Professional Purity: Contains no artificial flavors, colors, or corn syrup—just pure vanilla bean extractives, water, and alcohol.

Use Cases

• Daily Patisserie: The foundational flavor for sponges, cookies, and pound cakes where a "clean" vanilla note is required.

• Custards & Creams: Elevate pastry creams, Crème Anglaise, and puddings with a smooth, aromatic finish.

• Beverage Programs: Ideal for crafting house-made vanilla lattes, cocktail bitters, or flavored simple syrups for craft mixology.

• Chocolate Work: A drop of extract in ganaches or truffles can enhance the natural fruitiness and depth of the cocoa bean.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Why is there sugar in the extract? A small amount of sugar acts as a stabilizer to keep the vanilla extractives in suspension and mellows the harshness of the alcohol.

• How much should I use? Use exactly what your recipe calls for. 1 tablespoon of extract = 1 whole vanilla bean.

• Why shouldn't I refrigerate it? Cold temperatures can cause the delicate flavor components to dull or the liquid to become cloudy. A room-temperature pantry is best.

• Does the flavor bake off? While some alcohol evaporates, Nielsen-Massey’s high concentration ensures the complex vanilla oils remain in the crumb of your baked goods.

• Is this the same as "Madagascar" vanilla? Yes, Nielsen-Massey uses premium Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans for their pure extract.

• What is the shelf life? Like a fine wine, pure vanilla extract improves with age and has an indefinite shelf life if kept sealed and away from sunlight.
