VANILLA COMPLEMENTS
SOPHISTICATED SHORTBREAD

WAUKEGAN, ILLINOIS - (June 15, 2004) - Tender and crumbly, shortbread is the classic accompaniment to English high tea. With its perfect flavor combination of butter, sugar and vanilla, shortbread is a sophisticated, yet simple bakery treat.

Nielsen-Massey, the vanilla specialists, can provide the perfect vanilla for classic, sophisticated shortbread cookies.

Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste from Nielsen-Massey contributes the characteristic flavor: never too harsh or too weak, perfectly balancing the richness of the butter and the sweetness of the sugar, and adding the distinctive look of real vanilla seeds or "specks".

Shortbread bakers can benefit from the experienced vanilla blenders at Nielsen-Massey. Add the vanilla component of the recipe while creaming together the butter and sugar. This step will encapsulate the vanilla flavor until the heat of the oven releases it into the cookie. The result is a more highly flavored, aromatic cookie, with all of the character of the English classic.

Nielsen-Massey can provide other flavorful vanilla for your shortbread as well, whether you prefer rich and velvety Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, slightly spicy Mexican Pure Vanilla, flowery Tahitian Pure Vanilla, Vanilla WONF, natural-artificial vanilla, or a customized blend.

Nielsen-Massey Vanilla's corporate headquarters is located in Waukegan, Illinois, with production facilities in Waukegan and Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.
