Vanilla Bean Infused Syrup - 25.4 Fl Oz for Coffee, Cocktails, & Cooking by Sonoma Syrup Co

Why did you pick this product vs others?: OK, first off - I'm a really good cook. I've made my own syrup (and vanilla extract) for several years now. This stuff is as close to homemade as you're going to find on the market (save for maybe Etsy from another homemade cook). I only bought this after a little kitchen mishap (after over a month of 12-14 hour days / 7 days a week of working and sheer exhaustion). I purchased a variety of top rated syrups from Amazon and gave 6 a go. This one was by leaps and bounds better than the rest! Good job Sonoma Country! Taste: Excellent! Definitely taste a high quality, pure vanilla extract with the "caviar" to boot! Not sure which beans they use, but it's a nice touch to the regular Madagascar variety used by most of the other "all natural" syrups I gave a go before going back to cooking my own. I at least know if I am ever in a pinch, I've found my back-up "go-to." Exceptional syrup and earns the Blue Ribbon in my home taste test. Ingredients: Top shelf ingredients (and they do not skimp on the vanilla either)! VERY flavorful with a surprising bean I haven't quite figured out! Can definitely tell they used both the extract and the bean when cooking up their syrups! And since it takes 2 years to get the best flavor from homemade extracts, it would take me a LONG time to figure out (and there are too many bean varieties and only so much coffee a girl can drink). And although pricey, they do not water it down to make you pay even more in the end. I used less of this syrup to get the same sweetness but with a whole lot more flavor!

A really solid vanilla flavor, not artificial at all but on the subtle end for sure. The cap definitely gets annoying and messy so I would invest in a pump if you can.

Just bought my second bottle. It's so good!!

We love Sonoma Syrups! The ingredients are clean, the flavor is delicious, and they’re not overly sweet. Perfect for adding to our lattes!

Oh my, it's good. Other people who "try" to do (Vanilla Bean), it always turns out, to sweet (I've tried 3 different companies take on Vanilla Bean, and then this one makes 4). I guess that if they put an overwhelming sweet in there. People will not notice there is, so little BEAN. And that what they really got is some sort of "french vanilla" with a couple beans in there. And a little black food coloring (so people "see" it is darker than the french vanilla sitting just off to the side. This is "just a little" sweet. But then the Vanilla bean peaks out. I will be getting a second bottle of this one. And maybe some of their other flavors. I gave this all five stars (and I don't do five stars anymore) I decided to "save" that fifth tier for something that is EXCEPTIONAL, and not just very good. nope (five is special). And this is the definition of a FIVE rating (to me).
