Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste for Baking and Cooking, 32 Ounce Bottle

I will NEVER run out of this. This vanilla quickly became a permanent part of my kitchen. If you are used to alcohol based vanilla extract, you are in for a serious treat. And if you've been getting the cheap stuff at the grocery store, you are in for the vanilla heaven surprise of your LIFE! I bought this with one intention - I wanted to make vanilla whipped cream for pancakes and waffles (YUM!), and found that vanilla extract affected the flavor and texture of the cream with the alcohol taste. This has no alcohol and is much more concentrated in flavor and body. So . . . .after having a culinary orgasm with the vanilla whipped cream waffle . . . . I poured the rest of my mix into my fresh roasted coffee. O. M. G. To die for. Holy crap, there IS a food god and she (yes, she) blessed all of us with this amazing product. Ok, so then my wife and I both got a bit obsessed with this vanilla flavor and started experimenting and putting it in everything. Here are some other uses we didn't think of at first but turned out to be absolutely AWESOME:* Mix with cinnamon and maple syrup and spread on toast or French toast* Mix in a tablespoon into cola for the most AMAZING vanilla soda* Add some to bread or cake - it works great in a breadmaker machine without affecting the recipe* Mix with coconut oil and coffee grinds to make an amazing vanilla latte body scrub (my wife's idea)* Add to your smoothie.* Pour over ice cream* Make the most fantastic home-made ice cream - We use either raw milk cream or coconut cream with sugar and this vanilla in our Cuisinart ice cream makerSo there ya have it, our best ideas for vanilla pleasure. Out of all the uses, my favorite is mixing this with cream in my coffee and laugh at how Starbucks doesn't even come close to how amazing my morning coffee is (:If you found my review helpful, please vote with a thumbs up below (:

Taste is fabulous. Used to make frozen tangerines with Greek yogurt and this delicious vanilla flavoring! Yum

So much better than other vanillas my Mom asked me why my cakes are always better than my sisters! So I sent them both some. I won’t bake with anything else.

I use this vanilla paste in my overnight oats and it is totally worth the price. Highly recommended (got the largest bottle).

I was introduced to this vanilla paste several years ago in our local kitchen specialty store while attending a cinnamon roll making class and loved the flavor that it brought to the food. This bottle is my 3rd or 4th purchase and it has never disappointed. I love the rich vanilla flavor that it brings to my food, something that imitation vanilla just can't match. The vanilla bean flecks are a nice touch, too, to see in the foods where they are visible. (I also use a clear vanilla for those foods where I don't want the flecks but that's a different product review -- for most foods, it either doesn't matter or enhances the final product.)I can unequivocably recommend this product! Since I was introduced to this product, there have been several other competitors pop up with what look to be comparable products; however, I like this one so much that I've not tried those competitor's products so your mileage may vary. For me, I'm sticking with this tried-and-true vanilla bean paste. Try it once and despite the higher price over artificial vanilla, you'll fall in love with the richer flavor profile and not go back to the cheaper stuff.

My favorite. One of the best items Whole Foods carries and guess what? It's made in the USA!

Very nice quality vanilla that pours nicely. Some pastes are clunky but not this one. Highly recommend

It’s a fabulous buy for the size, very rich and superior flavor
