Nielsen Massey Paste Vanilla Pure BLND, 4 OZ

Use this for drinks, cocktails, ice creams, cakes, desserts- can be used on anything. Love the size. Wish the bottle could be a little bigger. Most of my teaspoons were too big to scoop the paste. But still great product

The other day I was baking an almond cake with almond buttercream frosting. This was for a special birthday, so I wanted to use the best quality vanilla-bean paste. All of the (North American) chefs I've ever watched on the Food Network seem to use Nielsen-Massey vanilla products whenever they bake; this appears to be the gold standard. I had a lot of prep to do for this party--including baking the cake/making the frosting! So I bought this via Amazon. The taste didn't disappoint: it's a quality product. However, the price is ridiculous! I paid $42, which is at least 10% higher than ordering it elsewhere online. If you buy this via Amazon, you're paying for the convenience, especially if you have Prime 1-day delivery, as I do. Also, I learned that vanilla-bean paste can replace vanilla extract 1:1 (exactly). So for any baking where you want to really taste the vanilla, buy this. You won't regret it!

Very good quality

i will never go back to vanilla extra, after using this vanilla past for all my Christmas baking! Concentration and strong smell of vanilla is overwhelmingly wonderful! Extremely high quality, love the thicker consistency and most of all the taste!

Excellent quality and flavor
