Product Description

Size: 32 oz.

This rich, unsurpassed vanilla comes from a single variety of orchid found only on the island of Madagascar. Made from hand-selected beans through an exclusive cold-process method to preserve the complex flavor and bouquet, it enriches homemade ice cream, custard, creme brulee and baked goods. It also boosts the flavor of dishes containing chocolate and coffee. More concentrated than extract, the pure vanilla bean paste is a sweet, slightly spicy syrup with flecks of handpicked vanilla seeds and is used when the distinctive look of seeds is desired. From Nielsen-Massey, makers of the world's finest vanilla since 1907 and the choice of chefs worldwide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vanilla Paste is terrific, October 12, 2010

This review is from: Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste - 4 ounces (Kitchen)

Based on recommendation from King Arthur Flour (KAF), I bought the vanilla bean paste. It came in quickly. I tried it and came to several conclusions. First, the flavor is outstanding..rich vanilla flavor. As described at KAF, the paste contained small vanillla bean specks which were visible in the lighter colored preps I made, like French Vanilla ice cream. It gave the preparations a special touch. One caution. If used in a thin batter, the specks will sink to the bottom. I learned this when I made Creme Brulee. The vanilla flavor was great, but at the bottom of the ramekin were all the bean specks. Use the paste in recipes where the specks will stay suspended and not sink.

Nielsen-Massey is my favorite vanilla extract, of the four or five I've sampled, and this is probably the most affordable way to buy this stuff on-line. If you're regularly making recipes that call for a tablespoon of vanilla at a time, you can't go wrong here.

We bought the 32 oz. vanilla extract. Here are the ingredients, as listed on the label: Water, Alcohol, Sugar, Vanilla Bean Extractives.

As others have noted, the added sugar was a big disappointment to us as well.
