Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste for Baking and Cooking, 4 Ounce Bottle (2 Pack)

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 maker So 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 (

Love this and it smells so good I only use this and get a couple at the same time cause I don’t want to run out

I used this to make my own sugar-free Vanilla Syrup for coffee. Great flavor and concentrated and smells divine! Can’t wait to try it on cookies. It does have a small amount of sugar, but I make my syrup with a Monk fruit/Allulose combination.

This vanilla paste is 200% better than using any other form of vanilla in baking and cooking. This large container lasts years and is worth every penny in the pure vanilla taste you get. Yum!

So flavorful, and the smell is intoxicating!

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.

I am a repeat buyer for decades

Brings such a deep rich flavor to anything I bake.

Prodotto eccezionale! E' una vaniglia densa e corposa! Conferisce un gusto fantastico in qualunque produzione dolciaria! Ottimo acquisto. Il negozio dove l'ho acquistato ha dimostrato massima serieta'

I am an keen baker and one of the staple cupboard fillers for anyone who makes cakes should be vanilla. There are many types, make and brands out there and indeed there are the pods themselves. Now pods are the number one choice in my opinion but to be honest there are reasons why i do not use them. Mainly cost and practicality of use i.e. use them soon otherwise they can go hard and can be a little inconsistent with quality and quantity. This paste as amazing and as close as you can get in my opinion to the pod itself. As it says it is a paste but more of a thick liquid i would say. Full of the vanilla flavor provided by the fact it has plenty of seeds in. Lovely stuff and easy to work with/use. I always buy more than one at a time as i do not want to run out. Happy to recommend and by the looks of some of the tv chefs i have seen use it they are too.

Nunca había probado la pasta de vainilla y la verdad es que ésta está muy bien PROS Sabor muy bueno. cualquier postre que hagas y le pongas una cucharada de esta pasta va a saber a vainilla auténtica. Se ven los granos de vainilla. CONTRAS El precio

Prodotto giunto con 5 giorni di anticipo sul previsto, si tratta della "Madagascar Bourbon" e non come segnalato da qualcuno della "Pure vanilla", quindi conforme a quanto descritto. Ricchissima di semi, aroma molto forte. Consistenza come una melassa, contiene zucchero ed addensanti naturali ma non alcool. A questo prezzo sicuramente molto più conveniente delle bacche intere, sufficiente una piccola quantità. Come con tutti gli aromi, se si esagera nell'uso il sapore diventa pungente e forse un po' plastico, ma solo a dosi davvero eccessive. I "puristi" utilizzino le bacche, per tutti gli altri amanti della cucina è a mio avviso un ottimo prodotto ed un ottimo compromesso tra prezzo e risultato ottenibile.

Wir nutzen diese Paste (präziser wäre es von einer dickflüssigen, sirupartigen Flüssigkeit zu schreiben) zur Eisherstellung. Kommt zwar an eine selbst ausgekratzte Vanilleschote nicht ganz heran (nur Mark!), ist aber trotzdem sehr aromatisch und daher empfehlenswert. Vanilleextrakt hat deutlich weniger Aroma, wird - anders als die Paste - hergestellt ohne Zusatz von Vanillemark. Durch den Zusatz von Vanillemark hat die Paste die typischen schwarzen Vanillepunkte. Im Prinzip ein guter Kompromiss unter Berücksichtigung der Kosten. Die Paste dieses Herstellers zählt für uns zu einer der besten auf dem Markt. Lässt sich prima dosieren.
