Bickford Flavors 4X Pure Vanilla Extract for Baking, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, No Sugar Added Flavoring, Gluten Free, Vanilla Essence Gourmet Baking Ingredients, Vegan Food Flavoring, 1 Gallon

If you are reading this review you are looking for high volume, quality vanilla extract at a fair price. Bickford is what you want to buy. There is nothing "off-brand" about this product, it is pure Madagascar vanilla bean extract in 35% alcohol without added sugar, corn syrup, or propylene glycol to dilute it. The "off-brand" taste is due to the lack of added sweetener.McCormick is >41% alcohol, they cheat you with less extract and more alcohol. Nielsen-Massey is overpriced due to their premium packaging. The non-NM Mexican vanilla is suspended in water and is mostly a vanillin blend (vanillin is not "imitation", it is just one compound of pure vanilla extract that can be manufactured industrially).Among all Amazon real vanilla products this is the best. I am a repeat customer.

I have been using this vanilla in our bakery for several years. It has a better smell and is more concentrated than other vanillas we have tried. We are able to use less, which means we save money without losing flavor! Very happy with this vanilla!

Very good vanilla! I prefer Madagascar vanilla and this is the real deal. Reasonable price considering the cost of vanilla has increased so much as of late. I bake a lot and sell cakes. The fake stuff doesn’t compare.This will last me a long time. Don’t worry about this expiring...vanilla has alcohol which pretty much makes it never go bad.

Ordered Bickford vanilla after using another brand for many years, their cost skyrocketed. Followed other recommendations and I am very pleased to say, this is the real deal. Great vanilla aroma and flavoring, icing and baked goods have good flavor without any chemical taste you get from lesser brands. This is my new "go to" brand.

Love! A little different from the brand I used for years (price rocketed) but strong and deep enough to flavor my baked goods without chemical taste found in cheaper flavorings

Arrived on time, as expected, and as described. Very pleased. I would order again.
