Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste — Bourbon, with Real Seeds

A thick, seed-rich Madagascar vanilla paste — used in pastry kitchens across London.

Made from pure Bourbon Madagascar vanilla beans and extract, blended with the finest vanilla seeds. The result is a viscous paste packed with flavour and visible seed flecks — exactly what pastry chefs want.

Supplied by Zazou Emporium to The Ritz, Claridge's, Hide, J Sheekey, Quality Chop House, Bread Ahead, and Hackney Gelato.

Why use vanilla paste

• Faster than splitting and scraping pods
• Visible seeds for both flavour and finish (ice cream, panna cotta, pastry cream)
• Easier portion control than liquid extract
• Pure Madagascar Bourbon vanilla — no synthetic vanillin, no flavouring

How to use it

1–2 teaspoons per kg of production. Excellent in ice cream, crème pâtissière, ganache, buttercream, sponges, choux, and any application where you want both the flavour and the visual proof of real vanilla.
