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

I prefer this alcohol-free full flavor vanilla to all other I have tried. My order arrived quickly and well wrapped so the glass bottle did not break. For the quality, it is worth the price! I am ready to bake again.

If you like to bake, and bake well, this is the product for you. I honestly very new to baking and I have heard many reviews about this product and how it will change your baked goods. It has been a game changer with my baking. It just takes my items to the next level. The natural and sweet taste of this is like nothing else. Highly recommend

This vanilla bean paste is a game-changer. I will never go back to regular vanilla extract. Here’s why I’m obsessed: Incredible Flavor and Aroma: The flavor is rich, complex, and delicious. It’s so much more fragrant and flavorful than regular vanilla extract. It elevates everything you put it in. Real Vanilla Bean Specks: You can actually see the tiny vanilla bean specks in the paste, which not only looks beautiful in your recipes but also adds an extra layer of authenticity and quality. No more scraping vanilla bean pods. Easy to Use: You can substitute it 1:1 for vanilla extract. Great Value: While it’s a bit pricier than regular extract, I think the quality makes it. Also, I don’t compare it to buying other vanilla extracts, I compare it to the price and hassle of using real vanilla beans. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Delicious in baked goods, somehow much richer than extract.Best price I found at the time of purchase

I absolutely love this brand and this paste! It is consistently thick. It has amazing depth of flavor. I use it in both my baked goods like chocolate chip cookies, cakes and even in my morning coffee! It has a brilliant smell! The color is dark and you can visibly see the vanilla beans in your baked goods and frostings! The bottle size is good. It blends very nice. The only con I have is the crust that forms on the screw cap of the bottle after using. It makes it very hard to untwist after so many uses and it doesn’t just wipe off. But I think this may be a comparable problem with most higher quality extracts and pastes.

Love this stuff. I find myself adding an extra half tsp on recipes and it's just heavenly. Been really loving it in ice cream. Great flavor. Feels like an upgrade over normal vanilla

This stuff is really good, super tasty, exactly what you see in recipes, et cetera, but dang, it's so pricey. Four ounces is a little tiny amount. I don't think I recognized how small an amount it would be. Just gosh, I struggled with it. I really like the vanilla flavor though and the texture was really good too.

On my third jar. Will not return to artificial. Worth the price.

Use this for drinks, cocktails, ice creams, cakes, desserts- can be used on anything. Love the size. Wish the bottle could be a little bigger. Most of my teaspoons were too big to scoop the paste. But still great product

The very best vanilla ever. I always used it when I baked. Now that I’m retired and don’t drive, I was thrilled to find it on line. I keep it in my walker pouch and use it every chance I get. Nothing beats the flavour.

Very good quality

The other day I was baking an almond cake with almond buttercream frosting. This was for a special birthday, so I wanted to use the best quality vanilla-bean paste. All of the (North American) chefs I've ever watched on the Food Network seem to use Nielsen-Massey vanilla products whenever they bake; this appears to be the gold standard. I had a lot of prep to do for this party--including baking the cake/making the frosting! So I bought this via Amazon. The taste didn't disappoint: it's a quality product. However, the price is ridiculous! I paid $42, which is at least 10% higher than ordering it elsewhere online. If you buy this via Amazon, you're paying for the convenience, especially if you have Prime 1-day delivery, as I do. Also, I learned that vanilla-bean paste can replace vanilla extract 1:1 (exactly). So for any baking where you want to really taste the vanilla, buy this. You won't regret it!

The texture is very diluted. Not happy with the purchase.
