Halal certified

Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract

Madagascar vanilla with real seeds, no alcohol, halal certified.

Our alcohol-free vanilla extract is made from 100% Madagascar vanilla: vanilla seeds, spent vanilla and Bourbon vanilla extracts, carried in a sugar syrup instead of alcohol. It is halal certified, and you can see the seeds in the bottle.

Bakeries, caterers and manufacturers use it when a recipe or a customer needs halal or alcohol-free ingredients. Home bakers choose it for children’s bakes, no-bake desserts and drinks, or simply to avoid alcohol.

Is it really alcohol-free and halal?

Yes. It is made with a sugar syrup instead of alcohol, and it is halal certified. Our classic vanilla extracts contain 30% alcohol, so if you need a halal or alcohol-free vanilla extract, this is the one to choose.

What’s in the bottle

What’s in the bottle

Four things: Madagascar vanilla seeds, spent vanilla, Bourbon vanilla extracts and a sugar syrup. No colourings and no artificial flavouring. The vanilla comes from the same Madagascar cooperative as our pods.

The sugar syrup does the job alcohol does in a classic extract: it carries the vanilla flavour. That is also why this extract is slightly sweet.

  • Halal certified
  • No alcohol: made with a sugar syrup
  • Real Madagascar vanilla seeds in every bottle
  • Suitable for vegans; free from the 14 major allergens
  • Product specification on request
How to use it

How to use it

Use it wherever a recipe calls for vanilla extract: cakes, biscuits, custards, icing, ice cream, ganache and pastry cream. With no alcohol in it, it suits no-bake desserts, cold mixes and drinks as well as baking.

At home, start with the amount of extract your recipe gives and adjust to taste. In production, use 1–2 teaspoons per kg.
