How does vanilla paste differ from extract?

Paste contains finely ground vanilla seed suspended in extract, so it delivers both the flavour of extract and the visible black specks of a scraped pod. Extract is a clear liquid with no seed. Paste is chosen where the specks are part of the product presentation.

What is the substitution ratio against vanilla beans?

As a working guide, one tablespoon of paste replaces roughly one whole vanilla bean. Confirm against your own formulation, since strength varies with application and processing temperature.

Does vanilla paste contain alcohol?

Yes. The paste is produced using food-grade ethanol and water. If you need an alcohol-free product, our water-based Vanilla Extract Non-Alcohol is the Halal-certified alternative.
