Everyday Vanilla

I grew up using Adam's Extract 2X vanilla flavor, which makes me think of the vanilla flavor in Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla (minus the listeria), and have been trying to find something similar to that that I can buy in a large quantity (and I hate plastic, but a plastic bottle in the kitchen is a lot less risky for me). This is similar, less strong, and has a nice sweet, mellow vanilla flavor, and I use 1.5x the amount a recipe specifies because I'm used to a stronger vanilla flavor. I wish there was a 2x version of this, because I'd be all over that. Compared to a regular high quality vanilla, this is sweeter, and a little watered down. It's great for test recipes or things where vanilla isn't a big part of the recipe (I use my old standby for vanilla buttercream, vanilla cake, and chocolate chip cookies that live and die by the vanilla used in them).

I love this product and I truly believe you can't over-flavor with regards to vanilla. I like starting with a little of this vanilla in any recipe where I use other extracts, too. It magically enhances and works well with all of your flavor components, even citrus and peppermint. The price? Reasonable! Vanilla will always be a bit pricey due to it's origin, but don't let that lead you to using it so sparingly. It always produces excellent results and the quality of flavor really matters to me in my recipes.

First off, if you are looking for a large quantity of excellent, affordable vanilla, just go ahead and get this. The good - Flavor and aroma are divine. What more is there to ask? This is a fraction of the price per ounce that you are likely to find at a grocery store, for real, genuine, ethically sourced vanilla extract. The meh - Maybe I am being picky, but this bottle is slightly annoying. The mouth is pretty large, so its kind of cumbersome to pour small amounts. I think this bottle would be greatly improved if Heilala could add a small restrictor the the inside of the mouth, to slow the flow. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible to pour, but if you are regularly measuring under half a tsp, you may be slightly annoyed. The bad - No bad! This is great stuff Overall, I am very satisfied with this extract for the price. It's higher quality than I am used to, and very affordable by comparison to the little bottles at the grocery store.

I go though quite a bit of vanilla as I bake oatmeal raisin cookies once a week to eat with our coffee. It's like a portable breakfast! I do put a bit more than recipe calls for as this is slightly less flavorful than my former brand, but no biggie as this is a much larger container. Recommend.

My family likes vanilla a lot and they are using it daily in various beverages and what not. This may not be the finest vanilla out there, but it's pretty darn good, and at a price where I don't cringe everytime I see someone reach for it. We will be getting more, especially at the rate it is disappearing around here

Should have known it was too good to be true for the relatively low cost. It is weak, with a stranger bitterness and with a minty finish reminisince of weak canned A&W rootbeer or rootbeer extract. Already getting heartburn from the latter. Tired of being scammed or overpaying for weak/adultered vanilla extracts/flavorings, so next step is rolling my own with glycerine and pods which will work out to be about $1/ounce.

Great value and great taste. I'm subscribed.

It smells and tastes so much better than the stuff you see in the grocery store. I am very glad I gave it a try.

Finally vanilla extract that last a long time in the kitchen.

Assez bonne qualité avec seulement 12% d’alcool. Mais contient ajouté « arôme naturel » et suger ajouté. Mais quand même, très bon dans l’ensemble

bon gout parfait

tres bon produit
