This perfect extract made it possible for me to WOW my friends with homemade peppermint bark. I followed the recipe from Chefs Catalog and delivered samples to my friends. Within 24 hours, 5 people asked for the recipe. They will no doubt be placing orders for the peppermint extract also!

This is the real deal. I used Nielson-Massey pure Lemon Extract recently. Wonderful flavor, gives a taste as this lemon flavoring was extracted straight from a lemon tree. You can't go wrong with this one.

Almond Extract

Most Almond Extracts are made from artificial and natural almond. This is very high quality and good tasting Almond Extract, not imitation as many are. Almond Extract is very hard to find in most grocery stores and when you do find it, it's not usually Pure Almond Extract. Don't let the alcohol content confuse you. It's a by-product of the natural fermentation of the Almond Oil that's used to create the extract. The Shortbread that you make by adding just a little amount of Almond Extract makes all the difference in the world. This is sold at under market value for this quality of Almond Extract. Can't go wrong. God Bless all the cooks of the World that make eating the pleasure that it is.

I purchased the orange extract and was pleasantly surprised that the product smells and tastes like you would expect an orange to taste. It doesn't have that "fake orange flavor" you get with some flavorings of a lesser quality.
Pros: Delicious/Flavorful, easy to store

Nielsen-Massey Pure Extracts from Chefscatalog.com cannot be beat. I was so excited to find these fabulous new flavors and the package price for all six was the best on the web.
Each flavor lives up to the Nielsen-Massey high standard and brings pure flavor excitement to smoothies, cakes, cookies, beverages and more. Cheap imitation extracts do not compare to the taste and value of thisexquisitely made product.
Pros: Delicious/Flavorful, Value for Money, Timely Delivery, quality, easy to use, easy to store

Well, it's almond extract, I'm not sure I can say it is THAT much better than your typical store bought. I will say that it is a very large quantity - so really in the end the price is about the same as store bought. I just hope I can use it up in the next five years (I think it took me about 10 years to use up my last bottle of almond extract and that was a third the size . . .).

Pure peppermint taste

fromBrooklyn, NY
I wanted mint extract specifically to make my favorite ice cream, mint chocolate chip. I first bought another mint extract which had both peppermint and spearmint flavors and it was a big mistake. This stuff tastes purely of peppermint and a little goes a long long way. My ice cream tastes amazing. Its pricey but worth it to get this pure flavor.
Pros: Delicious/Flavorful
Cons: expensive

Most Impressed by these extracts!

The first Nielsen-Massey Pure Extract I tried was their vanilla. I was so amazed at the difference over the everyday brands. Basically it tastes "real" and truly feels like a splurge. I was so impressed by the vanilla, I have tried the Peppermint and the Almond. Whenever I make hot chocolate, I have to pour a smidgen in with the chocolate. First Rate!!! I've also used the almond in some mousse recipes and would never go back to any other brand.

I bought the set of extracts because I love Nielsen-Massey vanilla and thought the rest of their extracts would be good. It was expensive, but the flavors are beyond compare. I especially love the peppermint, lemon, orange, and almond. I was a little unsure if I would use coffee or chocolate extracts. What's the point, right? They actually give a rich deep flavor, even when making something like chocolate cake. Very interesting!
