Lochhead Manufacturing is Committed to Clean Label

The Clean Label trend is here to stay! Fortunately, at Lochhead Mfg. Company we’ve been Clean Label folks for over 100 years. Our Pure Vanillas are made from three simple ingredients: vanilla beans, natural alcohol and water. It doesn’t get much cleaner than that.

What Makes Lochhead Vanilla the Gold Standard

The vanilla bean has approximately 300 unique flavor components. However because many are delicate and occur only in trace amounts they must be extracted carefully. At Lochhead Manufacturing Company we do not use super heated liquids or pressure for our extractions. Instead we use our proprietary cold extraction, slow percolation method to produce all of our vanillas.

The Vanwell Project

In the Fall of 2012, one of our co-owners George Lochhead visited the vanilla bean producing SAVA Region of Madagascar and noticed that many of the small villages in the region did not have fresh water wells and relied  solely on rivers.   Realizing this prompted the idea to initiate our “VanWell Project” that is currently underway.

About Lochhead Manufacturing

For four generations, the Lochhead Manufacturing Company has produced the finest quality vanilla extracts and flavors available. It all began in 1918 when Angus T. Lochhead settled in St. Louis, Missouri, with a vision of producing and marketing super premium pure vanilla extracts and flavors. When Angus retired, his son James E. Lochhead took the reigns of the company and continued his father’s vision. James developed new blends of pure vanilla extracts and flavors for his customers, and eventually retired and his two sons George and John took over the operations and ownership and continue on their grandfather’s dream of producing the gold standard of vanillas.
