NIELSEN-MASSEY PURE MADAGASCAR BOURBON VANILLA EXTRACT 2 OZ. Vanilla is a very effective potentiator for most other flavors. Vanilla will boost chocolate, coffee, nut flavors as well as all fruit flavors. When used with citrus, it tends to cover the acid bite and make it seem quite creamy. Nielsen-Massey's Pure Madagascar Bourbon extract is rich, smooth, and balanced. So delicious, it tastes yummy straight from the bottle (try THAT with any other brand!) The serious taster will detect subtle flavors of rum and wood, with prune aromas. Perfect for all your baking and cooking needs! Offered here in the sampler 2 ounce size. If you find you need more, please take a look at the 32 ounce size we offer -- keeps for a year! Both come with a classic N-M recipe for Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream! By the way, Madagascar Bourbon vanilla does not have anything to do with the American whiskey of the same name, but is rather named for the Bourbon Islands off the coast of Africa. New. Ships now.

Since 1907, the Illinois based Nielsen-Massey has been making premium pure vanilla. Other vanillas are heat extracted but Massey's undergoes a cold extraction. The method protects the more than 250 flavor components which contribute to vanilla's delicate and floral bouquet. Nielsen-Massey Vanilla products are simply the gold standard. You'll recognize the plain apothecary bottles on your favorite cooking shows. Try it and you too will notice the substantial difference. Did you know . . . that vanilla is the only edible member of the orchid family?
