Borregaard is the only producer of vanillin from wood: sustainable vanillin, made from natural, renewable raw material.

Building on six decades of experience we have developed a wide range of specially adapted varieties of vanillin for different applications. These include food and beverage, flavour and fragrance, personal care and cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, microbiome and plant-based crop protection products. 

Our portfolio includes:

• Plant-based vanillin, vanillin and ethyl vanillin
• Vanillin powder flavours
• Tailor-made vanillin creations for specific food applications

Borregaard has produced plant-based vanillin from Norway spruce since 1962, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Our plant-based vanillin is the only vanillin on the market certified according to PEFC, based on 100% renewable carbon. It provides a 90% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to guaiacol vanillin synthesised from crude oil.
