What Chefs Have to Say

About our products

“I’ve been using Nielsen-Massey for 14 years, and it is one of the best vanillas on the market. The superior quality and complex flavor are always consistent and add an elevated taste to my creations.”

CHRISTOPHE RULL Pastry Chef, TV Personality

"As a pastry chef and cake designer, vanilla is one of my most used ingredients. You will never find my pantry without it. I have been a long-time user of Nielsen-Massey vanilla and flavor extracts, pastes and vanilla beans – both personally and professionally. My go-to is their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Paste. It’s a 1:1 ratio and the paste gives you those beautiful vanilla bean flecks in the finished product without the expense or time of scaping a bean. I’m also a big fan of their single-origin line of pure vanilla extracts, which allow me to choose the flavor profile I want to enhance my dish."

Marina Sousa Owner, Pastry Chef and Designer of Just Cake

“It’s no secret, both for cooking and baking, always use the best ingredients. What’s the point of investing time to create something and use average ingredients? Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Paste are my favorites, as well as the Lemon Extract. I like using the Vanilla Bean Paste, as it is the closest to using fresh vanilla pods with all the glorious little seeds, and the consistency doesn’t interfere with the recipes.”
