Whether you are looking for retail, foodservice or industrial solutions, Nielsen-Massey has earned the reputation of offering distinctive ingredients to meet your specific needs. We are headquartered in Waukegan, Ill. with production facilities in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

We’ve been sharing the world’s finest, sustainably-sourced flavors from our family to yours for more than a century. We take pride in developing decades-old relationships with farmers across the globe to hand-pick the richest vanilla beans. Our slow, proprietary cold-extraction process preserves more than 300 delicate flavor compounds to ensure our vanilla extracts consistently deliver the richest taste.

Our passion for flavor extends beyond vanilla to a wide range of flavor products sourced from premium ingredients and grown in the best conditions. Each ingredient is evaluated to meet our discerning quality standards. 

All Nielsen-Massey products are all-natural, allergen-free, GMO-free and certified Kosher and Gluten-Free. Fairtrade and organic certified products are also available. 

Our unwavering commitment to crafting the finest vanillas and flavors aligns with our goal of making the world a better place to live. As one of the first companies to introduce an organic and fairtrade vanilla from Madagascar, we are committed to sustaining the plants, people and communities in our supply chain. This includes improving economic prospects for farmers and making vanilla a more sustainable crop.
