Pure Double-Strength Vanilla Paste A true vanilla paste crafted from premium Bourbon vanilla beans for bakers who appreciate real ingredients. Made in Melbourne using single-origin Bourbon vanilla beans from the Comoros Islands, our Pure Double-Strength Vanilla Paste is crafted with approximately 200g of premium vanilla beans per kilogram—around twice the vanilla content of a typical single-strength vanilla paste. Unlike many commercial vanilla pastes, Luna Vanilla is made using finely ground whole vanilla beans, creating a genuine vanilla paste with rich flavour, natural aroma and the beautiful appearance of real vanilla bean seeds throughout. Perfect for cakes, buttercream, custards, crème pâtissière, cheesecakes, ice cream, desserts and everyday baking. Available in 50g and 250g sizes, whether you're discovering Luna Vanilla for the first time or baking regularly, there's a size to suit your kitchen. A True Vanilla Paste Many vanilla pastes have a smooth, syrup-like consistency with vanilla seeds suspended throughout. Luna Vanilla takes a different approach. Our paste is crafted using finely ground Bourbon vanilla beans, creating a genuine vanilla paste that celebrates the ingredient itself. Similar to a curry paste or pesto, the texture comes naturally from the ingredients rather than relying on a gel base. This creates exceptional vanilla flavour and aroma while showcasing the character of real vanilla. Because we use real ground vanilla bean, you may notice slight natural texture and occasional settling. Simply stir before use to enjoy the full flavour and aroma.

The Luna Vanilla Difference Our vanilla begins in the lush volcanic islands of the Comoros, where every orchid is hand-pollinated and each bean is carefully cured using traditional methods. Back in Melbourne, we craft our vanilla paste in small batches using premium Bourbon vanilla beans, preserving the authentic flavour, aroma and character of the vanilla rather than masking it with unnecessary ingredients. The result is a true vanilla paste that celebrates the whole bean and delivers exceptional flavour in every spoonful. From our islands to your kitchen. Paste FAQ Why does Luna Vanilla have a sharp or strong smell when I first open the jar? That sharp note is actually proof of absolute purity! Most commercial brands load their pastes with sugar or corn syrup, which artificially dampens the aroma. Because Luna is completely sugar-free and unrefined, the natural food-grade ethanol (used to extract the pure vanilla oils) rises to the top of the jar. Give it a few seconds to breathe—just like a fine wine—and you will smell the true, deep vanilla bean underneath. Why does the paste taste so intense directly from the jar? We highly recommend not tasting Luna Vanilla straight from the spoon! Because we do not add sugars to sweeten the paste, it tastes incredibly potent, bitter, and sharp on its own. Luna is a professional-grade ingredient designed to bloom. Its true, spectacular flavor unlocks the moment it is diluted into a batter, dough, cream, or liquid. Can I use Luna Vanilla in raw, no-bake, or cold desserts? Yes, absolutely! However, because the ethanol doesn't evaporate under heat in cold recipes (like frostings, ice cream, or raw slices), we recommend mixing Luna Vanilla into your liquid ingredients (like cream or melted butter) first, then letting the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes before assembling. This allows the alcohol note to dissipate, leaving only pure vanilla sweetness. Why is the texture of Luna Vanilla different from other pastes I’ve used? If you are used to thick, gooey, syrup-like vanilla pastes, Luna will look and feel unique. Those other pastes rely on heavy sugar syrups and thickeners to create a fake gel texture. Luna Vanilla is crafted with minimal ingredients to keep the focus entirely on the beans. It is a cleaner, more natural consistency that blends effortlessly into your recipes without adding unwanted sugars or altering your baking chemistry.
