Rodelle Gourmet Pure Vanilla Extract, Baking & Cooking, USA Made, 8 Fl Oz

I couldn't wait to try this, and then I couldn't wait to review it! I need to start by saying this: YOU WILL NOT regret this purchase! This is the most amazing Vanilla I've ever tried! So I emailed Rodelle and asked them what the difference was between their Gourmet Vanilla and their Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. This is what they replied to me with: "Our Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract is made just with Vanilla Beans from Madagascar. These beans give you the very traditional vanilla flavor that we are all used to. It contains no sugar. Vanilla beans can only grow in certain places, and another good location is Uganda. But when you take the Bourbon variety of bean to Uganda it takes on a slightly different flavor. So when we make a Vanilla with those beans and blend in Madagascar beans, we call it the Gourmet Blend. Traditional Vanillas used to add a little sugar, and we do to this one too so it has a slightly sweeter flavor like old time traditional Vanilla". This Vanilla has made all the difference in my chocolate chip cookies! I researched vanilla beans from Uganda and found this on Beanilla.com: 'Vanilla beans from Uganda have tones of milk-chocolate. The flavor is very bold as these vanilla beans produce a very high amount of vanillin, making them perfect for rich desserts and chocolates'. In any case, I can't recommend this Gourmet Vanilla enough. It's incredible!

I use this for a variety of things I make in the kitchen. Recommend.

Good product. Arrived in one piece. Thank you for putting this in a box Amazon. I don’t know why you couldn’t have done the same with my Cocoa. But that’s another story Vanilla is good.

for me, the cost of this ($17.98) is almost the same as a 4oz bottle from the grocery store, so the value for just as high quality vanilla is perfect. i've made a few things with this so far and have loved them. definitely will be looking into buying this again when i need a refill.

Wow for me this has a very strong alchohol taste. Disappointed. For the price I'm stuck using it, for the size it will last me the rest of my baking career.

Ordered this in 2020 (I clearly don't bake frequently enough lol) and I'm just purchasing my second bottle now. I noticed an immediate difference when I switched from inexpensive store bought, to this brand. It smells and tastes wonderful. Highly recommend!

This has the essence of vanilla beans and I would put it in the category of Nielsen Massey. Please make sure that you get the gourmet pure vanilla in this brand is they have a few different types of vanilla. Pure vanilla is the best as I have tried a couple. I have been very pleased with everything that I have used it with as I bake a lot been pleased with each of my creations. I am very particular about an vanilla flavoring so this is saying a lot. I highly recommend this. Additionally the sand as you make your cakes makes your mouth water as you smell it through the room.

Always use the best you can buy. This vanilla is it.
