Delicate, floral vanilla with a fruit-forward finish.
Crafted from hand-selected vanilla beans cultivated in Tahiti, Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract is a favourite among pastry chefs for its distinct floral and fruity character. With flavour notes often described as anise- and cherry-like, Tahitian vanilla offers a unique profile that complements delicate desserts and aromatic cold applications.
Because Tahitian vanilla is highly sensitive to heat, Nielsen-Massey uses a proprietary cold extraction process to gently preserve its natural flavour compounds—making it especially well-suited for recipes that are chilled, frozen, or gently heated.
