Nielsen-Massey Pure Almond Extract, 18 Oz.

I have the vanilla bean paste from Nielsen-Massey as well, so I thought I would order the Almond bc I love almond extract. The alcohol smell is very strong. I added a little to some icing and it wasn't as tasty as I've had before. I will let it marinate and do an update. As for the bottle, there is no good way to pour this out without making a mess, which means loosing some of the extract! I'm definitely not in favor of that, bc this stuff was not cheap. I highly recommend the company change the cap to one with a drip hole in to allow people to just pour small amounts as needed. I had to use a tiny funnel to pour some into a a container we use for juicing shots, and I had to sacrifice some of the extract in the sink to do this! I'm just not a fan of the wide open cap! Please consider changing it to one with a hole. Thank goodness for quick thinking otherwise I would have reluctantly returned the item. The price wasn't so bad for the size though.

This is my favorite almond extract. I own a home bakery specializing in sugar cookies and love the quality of this real almond extract. The vanilla bean paste is also phenomenal. Pricy but worth it. A little goes a long way.

AWFUL I have purchased other Nielsen-Massey extracts without issue. The almond extract is HORRIBLE. It smells and tastes like cheap alcohol,. Even in baked goods has virtually no almond flavor, just a nasty aftertaste. I will go back to using Olive Nation almond extract.as I have used for years.

I have ordered before. I use it in baking. It adds a nice flavor on oatmeal along with some vanilla paste. Not much almond extract is needed … can easily use too much. Use in most of my muffins as well. Good in pancakes too.

This almond extract is the best. I make almond pound cakes and I use a lot more almond extract than recipe calls for.
