OliveNation Vanilla Bean Paste Purée is made by combining vanilla bean seeds, premium Madagascar vanilla extract and other ingredients in a xanthan gum base to create a thick puree texture for easy mixing. It's an easy way to get the flavor, aroma, and flecks of vanilla beans into baked goods, sauces, and toppings without using vanilla beans or extract. We also find vanilla bean paste purée to be more economical than whole vanilla beans, as a little will go a long way for adding rich, creamy vanilla flavor to dishes and desserts. This flavoring delivers vanilla flavor to baked goods as well as sauces, toppings, and creamy desserts. Try it in frostings, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and more to add sweet, rich, vanilla taste and aroma for delicious flavor profiles.
