Retailers Create a Buzz with Artful Displays Throughout the Store
With all of the exciting new products from Nielsen-Massey, as well as the traditional premium vanillas that we are known for throughout the world, retailers may be challenged to come up with new and different ways to promote them. Well, help is on the way.

We have contacted a professional prop stylist who will design a “set” for ongoing Vanilla Vines that will showcase our various product lines with an eye for seasonality, color, flavor and visual punch, all designed to help improve sales and keep your customers interested and coming back for more. Here’s advice from the expert on how to introduce these newest products to your customers:

Retailers will want to display Nielsen-Massey Pure Flavor Extracts with baking mixes, gourmet dip mixes, pie fillings, and premium breakfast cereals to stimulate sales. Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanillas and Pure Flavors can be shown together so that customers will recognize the family name and look. Merchandise with serving pieces, bakeware and kitchen gadgets to catch your customer’s attention and create add-on sales.


Retailers can have fun with the various new extracts, matching flavors with applications, building displays to showcase a number of products, working with seasonal themes, colors and new trends in the marketplace.

The New Extracts are Great...So Now How Do I Use Them? (Let us explain)

The new quality extracts are great, reflecting the high caliber of ingredients that Nielsen-Massey customers have come to expect, and they are wonderful additions to recipes that call for these flavors. But how else can you use these powerful little products?

Nielsen-Massey went to the experts and came up with some new and novel ways to use these premium extracts.


As you get used to working with these flavors (they are strong, start slowly), you will soon find that they add dimension and character to a variety of foods. Whether you pair them with foods that contain these essential flavors to give them an added boost, or contrast them with opposite or unlikely flavors (chocolate and chili for example) you will find that these pure, quality extracts are hard to live without.

Cooking for Spring and Summer Can Be Fresh and Flavorful
With winter behind us, it’s now time to look forward to the foods of spring and
the bounty of summer. These lighter flavors are always a welcome change from the heavier soups, stews and roasts of the colder months, with fresh vegetables and grilled items taking center stage. Let Nielsen-Massey show you the way to light, bright recipes flavored with products from the makers of the world’s best vanilla!
Springtime vegetables offer a great format for showcasing some special recipes.
Asparagus, artichokes, fresh greens, and ripe fruits are perfect foils for the flavors of Nielsen-Massey.

Artichokes and asparagus are naturals with hollandaise sparked with a little Pure Orange Extract, but pair them also with garlic-lemon butter made with Pure Lemon Extract, or breadcrumbs mixed with a little mustard, Pure Lemon Extract, and Parmesan cheese.

 

With grilling season starting up, try adding new Pure Coffee Extract to a purchased or homemade spicy barbecue sauce for added depth of character, or add Nielsen- Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to barbeque sauce for a sweet and mellow flavor.

Here’s a way to jazz up a family classic with almost no effort at all! It’s an easy burger recipe with the addition of Pure Chocolate Extract...give it a try.

2 tablespoons vegetable 1oil
1 onion, chopped
1 cup catsup
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons spicy salsa
1 tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate Extract
1 pound ground beef
Heat the oil in a pan, and saute the onions, until translucent. Add the catsup, water, salsa and Pure Chocolate Extract. Cook, stirring occasionally until thickened. Form four hamburger patties with the ground beef and grill or fry as desired. Serve on toasted sourdough bread or your favorite hamburger
buns with the sauce spooned over the top. Serves 4

Wake up the flavor of your burgers by adding a bit of Pure Chocolate Extract - yes, chocolate - it’s a surprisingly delicious flavor
combination and so easy to make!

Fun Facts:

Oranges, lemons and almonds all originated in Asia, but are now grown the world over for their flavor and aroma. The biggest almond
producer is California.

Chocolate is native to Mexico, which is also the birthplace of that other classic: Vanilla!

Almost everything that has chocolate or
chocolate flavor in it also has vanilla.
