McCormick Vanilla Bean Paste (Pourable), 4.5 oz

I was a die-hard vanilla extract user for many years, but this paste has made me switch. The flavor is deeper and more intense (for me) and improves everything I use it in. Very happy with my purchase.

Other products might as well been extract but this paste is thick and the flecks will certainly show up in your baked items.

You have to hand it to McCormick, their spices are of good quality. I think that's all they do (spices)?. Vanilla beans are SO expensive. This is a very close second. I highly recommend. The only negative here is that once you get this good stuff, you'll never go back.

I bit the bullet and had to try it out.. I've always used vanilla extract imitation because of how inexpensive it was. But now that I am doing Keto alot of keto ice cream recipes call for vanilla bean and bloggers swears that it makes a huge difference.. and it totally does!! I love seeing the specks of vanilla in my homemade ice cream and it takes it to another level for sure!! I would definitely recommend ..just remember to not use too much because it is potent.

I really liked the flavor. However, I was skiddish to use it any further as the lid arrived completely cracked. It's a hard plastic unlike the softer bottle, and was not wrapped in bubble wrap prior to shipping. It was also shipped in the thin brown paper shipping bag. It's a food product, so it's not returnable. I had to figure out how to actually talk to someone at Amazon because I wasn't happy about losing my money. A couple days ago, Peter at Amazon CS helped me and promptly refunded my full purchase amount. I asked him to advise Shipping that they need to protect products like these from shipping damage. Hopefully they will. This is my reason for deducting one star from my review.

The flavor of McCormick’s Vanilla Bean Paste is the best I’ve tried so far. The consistency makes it easy to measure & easily use the last drop. I much prefer the bottle to the jars they use with other brands!

This product is fabulous; a vanilla past that tastes great and doesn’t break the bank.

Convenient and full of flavor, without scraping the bean!
