Nielsen-Massey Vanillas Company Profile

The year 2007 marks the 100 year anniversary of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, purveyors of vanillas and fine flavorings. Our family-owned and operated company has a long, rich history of making quality products second to none. The Nielsen-Massey name is first among chefs of the world’s finest restaurants, home cooks, bakers, and manufacturers of premium ice creams and novelties alike. Its popularity began with its ever-popular pure vanilla extract, and has now evolved into an entire line of quality products. Gourmet food shops and fine grocers stock our products on their shelves for discriminating consumers who appreciate the art of fine cooking and baking.

At Nielsen-Massey, we offer a full line of Pure Vanilla products including vanilla beans and extract from Madagascar, Tahiti, Mexico and Indonesia; sugar and alcohol-free Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder; Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste with the distinctive flecks of real vanilla beans; and Certified Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract and Powder. We also offer a line of pure extracts including: Pure Chocolate Extract; Pure Almond Extract; Pure Lemon Extract; Pure Orange Extract; and Pure Coffee Extract.

The unique cold process method of extraction is what makes our products’ quality superior to others. It protects the over 250 different flavor components found in vanilla beans from the damaging effects of heat or pressure during extraction. This process allows us to extract the total bouquet of flavor and provide a true vanilla profile. All our vanilla products are Kosher certified and Gluten-free.
