Stop Wasting Time: The Problem with Real Vanilla in Fat-Based Recipes

You strive for the deepest, most authentic flavour in every lipid-rich creation. Naturally, you reach for real vanilla.

But if you’re using standard liquid vanilla extract, you’re introducing a common flaw: water.

The moment that small amount of moisture hits your expensive, finely tuned ingredients—your melted chocolate, your smooth ganache, or your artisanal nut butter—the mixture can seize, clump, or destabilize. You get the flavour you want, but you ruin the texture you need. This forces many professionals to compromise on flavour by relying on basic vanillin or settling for diluted results.


The Dutch Essentials Solution: Pure, Dry, and Fat-Ready Bourbon Vanilla

We developed an innovative, easy-to-dose Natural Bourbon Vanilla Extract Powder specifically to solve this problem. This product is a concentrated extract of the real vanilla bean, expertly dried and formulated to be 100% fat-soluble.

It’s the rich, full flavour of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla in its most stable and versatile form, allowing you to:

  • Achieve Perfect Texture: It dissolves perfectly into your fats and oils, preventing any risk of seizing or separation.
  • Dose with Precision: Highly concentrated, it is easy to weigh and measure, guaranteeing a consistent, intense flavour every time.
  • Ensure Stability: It offers excellent shelf stability and heat tolerance for all high-end applications.


Clarity is Everything: Why This Is NOT Vanillin

We cannot stress this enough: This product delivers real flavour from real vanilla beans. It is not a simple powder relying on the isolated chemical compound, vanillin.

Vanillin (the single molecule) provides a single, flat note of sweetness and aroma. Our Powder provides the complete orchestra of flavour—the rich, dark, and complex profile that only the full vanilla extract can deliver.

Stop compromising your texture for flavour. Use our fat-soluble powder to effortlessly infuse your chocolates, nut butters, caramels, and high-end confections with the authentic, deep taste of Bourbon vanilla.
