expensive

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.
Best choice

I have used the Nielsen Massey pure vanilla extract for years - do a lot of cake baking - and it is absolutely the very best to be bought. It is pricey but I can assure you, it is worth the money. The cheaper stuff won't do a fine home baked cake justice.
Fantastic product even finds new friends overseas!

I've been using the Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla for years. It's EXTREMELY expensive here in Australia and I found some when I was in Hawaii, very cheap by our Aussie pricing standards. When I wanted to get more online I searched and found a site that would ship to Australia, and got in touch with a lovely lady in Customer Service. She was in Fredericksburg, Texas. Anyway, after much email chat Laura and 3 other Texans came to visit and stay with us in Adelaide, Australia. So you see, just cooking with this product is OK, but the wider world is a fastcinating place and new friends can be made because of Vanilla Extract.

This item arrived damaged. Vanilla had leaked out of cap area and was all inside the box. I called the company who was very courteous and apologetic and said they would ship another bottle the next day. I expect its arrival any day now.
Six months and many calls later...I never did receive the bottle that they said they would ship. I'm out the money but they're out a customer.

this is hands down the best vanilla I have ever tasted! the flavor is intense too, so you don't really have to use as much - it is well worth the price and will make all your baking that much better! The grocery store vanillas, even the pure one's, leave a weird aftertaste and have an odd flavor whereas this has a true rich wonderful vanilla aroma and taste because of the cold processing.
