Add great delight to cheesecakes, sugar cookies, coffees, and even barbecue with this classic flavoring from the finest producer of pure vanilla extract in the world. Pure Madagascar Vanilla is stronger than standard extracts so that less is needed when using. Vanilla has multiple uses other than simple flavoring - Put a teaspoon of vanilla into a tomato sauce or chili to cut down the acidity of tomatoes and a few drops in a can of paint will eliminate funny odors. Using an unusual cold process method which protects the over 300 natural flavor components in vanilla that are destroyed through traditional heating processes, Nielsen-Massey Vanillas extract the pure vanilla essence from hand-selected pods, producing rich, unsurpassed flavor. Vanilla, the most popular flavor in the world, originated in Mexico, but today grows primarily in Madagascar and Indonesia. Vanilla beans are harvested from the only edible fruit-bearing orchids known to this day. Each pod requires a labor-intensive 3 to 6 month curing process to develop its full flavor and 5 pounds of harvested pods produce just one pound of cured pods. This again will need another 2 to 3 months to produce the natural vanilla extract, making the creation of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla a truly intensive experience with delightful results.
