Nielsen-Massey Ugandan Pure Vanilla Extract, 4 oz.

Ugandan Pure Vanilla Extract is crafted from premium, hand-selected Ugandan vanilla beans. The result is a flavor profile that is bold and creamy-sweet with notes of chocolate. Similar to vanilla from Madagascar, Ugandan vanilla is a versatile, all-purpose staple for a range of baking and cooking applications. It pairs incredibly well with chocolate, caramel and citrus dishes. Or, add it to ice cream, cakes, cookies, chocolates, or savory sauces, salsas or salad dressings; it also punches up hot chocolate or smoothies with a smooth, pure vanilla flavor.

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.
