Best Vanilla! January 8, 2008
Writers from MN

"I've been a baker most of my life, as well as a food writer and recipe developer. As long as I've baked, I've used Nielsen-Massey pure vanilla. It's the best tasting vanilla that you can buy. I love its wonderful fragrance and great flavor."

'Really Good Vanilla' November 2, 2007
muminah03 from Hartford, Connecticut

"As a frequent viewer of culinary shows, I often hear the cooks refer to using 'really good vanilla' when they are making sweets. I thought that my usual brand was considered 'really good vanilla' until I purchased this brand. I must say that this vanilla extract truly makes baked goods 'something special'. My cakes, pies, sweet doughs and cookies take on a new level of richness and aroma and now I wouldn't dare use any other. Most definitely recommended for those who want the best flavor and value!
On a scale of 1 - 10........... I give this product oh, A 24!"

The best vanilla extract around August 13, 2008
trissy from Newcastle, Wa

"I've purchased pure vanilla extract from a price club for as long as I can remember, and it is good vanilla. But once I tried Nielsen Massey, there was no turning back! Now the other brand has been sitting in my cupboard since. The deep, dark vanilla flavor is unmistakable in my baked goods and ice cream. The first recipe I tried this on was my pineapple upside down cake, and it was gobbled up in minutes! Definitely worth the price."

Best Vanilla You'll Ever Cook With February 15, 2008
TNBaker from Knoxville, TN

"I may be baised since my uncle was a plant manager with Nielsen-Massey for 20 years, but for me, there is no other vanilla. I have tried other ones at gourmet stores and I have yet to find another that adds the same amount of richness to my baked goods as theirs. I use this vanilla in my cakes, cheesecakes, cookies, milkshakes, and even my pancakes. Also, you will not find a better price on this size of vanilla anywhere else."

worth it December 3, 2007
smallgoodthing from Wisconsin

"People who have been using lesser brands (or imitation extracts) may flinch at the price, but this vanilla is simply the best, producing noticeable results in ice cream and all kinds of baking. Also, the bottle is large and will last even avid bakers quite a while."

Heavenly scent November 16, 2007
bay1431 from East Coast

"I love this stuff! The scent, the flavor, even the look of the bottle. It makes me feel good just reaching for it on my shelf. I am a huge vanilla fan, though and find good vanilla makes a world of difference for me!"

Best Vanilla Flavor October 19, 2007
Sandy from Knoxville, TN

"This vanilla is the best. It has so much flavor that it puts other pure vanilla extracts to shame. I can tell a difference when I am making cakes, frostings, and ice cream. I think it is worth paying extra for this kind of quality."

Gets rave reviews October 19, 2007
Rose from Central New York

"I have used Madagascar Vanilla for a number of years now. As an avid baker, I have tried different brands of ingredients including vanilla, eggs, flours and butters, and find that when I make my chocolate chip cookies using this vanilla, people notice and mention the difference - particularly the men who taste the cookies. It's not a special recipe, it's the one on the back of the Nestle Semisweet Chocolate Chip bag. I purchased a quart bottle last spring and split it with a friend who also enjoys baking. I've decided I could use my own quart bottle since I've nearly run out and the Christmas baking season is upon us. The price in this size makes it a justifiable purchase to me."
