Nielsen-Massey Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste 944ml

Love this stuff! Couldn't bake without it! Makes a real difference to my bakes, really strong nice flavor. A thousand times better than any vanilla essence I ever used and only slightly less potent that actual vanilla pods. Obviously they are the best but slightly expensive. I think this is very good for everyday use without stretching your budget. This is a big bottle, so hopefully will last me longer. It works out cheaper that buying small bottles from supermarket and as I use to very often it's very helpful for me. My only " but" is that there could be a better pouring/dosing system? The bottle neck is wide and it's easy to pour more that you need and hard to stop it.

This vanilla bean paste is excellent for baking and a beautiful addition to my cupcakes, especially because taste is so important to producing a quality product. I run a floral cupcake business, and this gives my cupcakes that rich, decadent, high-end vanilla flavour I want. A little goes a long way, and it allows me to maintain the consistency of my batter rather than using a watery essence. It is a little expensive, but in my opinion, it is worth the price because the results taste premium. The bottle arrived with no leakage, which I appreciated, and it is easy to use. If you care about flavour and want something that elevates your baking, this is a great product.

The most amazing and strong vanilla flavour ever. Contains 20% vanilla extract and 2% vanilla beans. The rest is sugar and water. The use by date is 2016 so lasts a long time. We bought this to make our own vanilla syrup. It's come out great. The taste is natural. Delicious!!!

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 (

A wonderful product in a MASSIVE bottle which will last a very long time. This works out at great value for money and a worthwhile purchase for avid bakers!
