Nielsen-Massey Mexican Pure Vanilla Extract is made from premium, hand-selected vanilla beans cultivated in Mexico, the original birthplace of the vanilla plant. Using a proprietary cold extraction process that gently preserves over 300 flavor compounds, this extract delivers one of the world's most exceptional vanillas with a deep, creamy, spicy-sweet character similar to clove or nutmeg. The rich marriage of sweet and woody notes works especially well with chocolate, citrus fruits, cinnamon, cloves, and other warm spices, while its natural spiciness complements chile peppers and tomatoes by smoothing out their heat and acidity.

This 8 oz bottle features a gluten-free certified and Non-GMO Project Verified formula. The vanilla orchid originated in Mexico centuries ago with the native Totonac Indians, and Mexico remained the sole growing region for 300 years due to the symbiotic relationship between the vanilla orchid and the indigenous Melipona bee. The curing process takes three to six months, making it a labor-intensive endeavor that results in exceptional quality.

Ingredients: Water, cane alcohol, cane sugar, Mexican vanilla bean extractives. Made in the USA by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Inc. in Waukegan, IL. Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and allergen-free with a 3-year shelf life.
