Hi Norma,

Yes, we actually carry premium vanilla bean paste on our website.

Simply search for “Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste” in the search bar.

Can’t wait to eat & comment afterwards😛! Can you recommend a on line supplier for Vanilla Bean Paste(jarred kind only) I prefer flavoring from concentrates instead of less flavorful water or bourbon add-ins). Thanks, Norma Southern Home-made cool of over 40 years😋
