Product Description
The worlds finest and most consistent vanilla comes from Madagascar. Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla from Nielsen-Massey has a creamy, sweet, velvety flavor that is perfectly suited for a range of products from baked goods to ice creams, salad dressings to barbeque sauces. Madagascar Bourbon vanilla does not have anything to do with the American whiskey of the same name, but is rather named for the Bourbon Islands off the coast of Africa. Madagascar supplies more than 60% of the worlds vanilla.

Best stuff ever! July 1, 2010

Best vanilla I've ever found. Wegman's used to carry it but stopped, so I searched online. It is worth it.

This is my favorite vanilla. I haven't tried any other brand of real vanilla, though. i'm only comparing this to anything I've bought at the grocery store. Real vanilla makes all the difference in your baking & cooking. Chocolate chip cookies went from ok to phenomenal. Whipped cream made from real cream, sugar & real vanilla....absolutely divine. You won't regret it!

It would be difficult to find a better pure extract than this Nielsen-Massey offering. Like several other reviewers here, I use a lot of this product in baking. Over the years I have used quite a number of different brands, some out of necessity, and some out of curiosity. I have yet to find a better one than this! I do not want to sound like a snob, but the few dollars extra you pay for the real thing is worth it. I cringe when I see the imitation vanilla on the shelves of grocery stores, as I know how much difference the flavor of the final product will be when using it.
Quite often, even with the better grocery store brands, you get a strange and rather unpleasant after taste. Not so with this stuff! It should also be noted that the flavor here is extremely intense, so slightly smaller amounts are called for in some recipes.
It always seems a shame to me to got to all the trouble of making a cake, or any dish for that matter, and not strive for perfection, giving it up for a relatively few saved cents.
In addition to cooking needs, I have found that if you moisten the tip of your finger just slightly with this product, and rub just a small amount in a small area on the bulb of your bedside lamp, you get the most marvelous and sensual aroma...not overwhelming, but just slightly lingering. Wow!
I really cannot see how you can go wrong here. The price is equivalent to what I have been paying locally and an 8 oz bottle will last quite some time with reasonable use.
Really great, except the price February 5, 2009

This is a really great, quality vanilla. I've used it exclusively in my baking for a couple of years now. I'm surprised by the price though! I buy this exact bottle at a local "gourmet" market that usually overprices everything and it's $8, not $20. Yikes.

This is nice vanilla but the price is a bit shocking. I bought the exact same vanilla at Cost Plus for about $7.00 a few years ago. I would check with them first before buying here.
