I recently tried this pure vanilla extract, and it's made a noticeable difference in my baking. The aroma is rich, warm, and authentic-exactly what you expect from real vanilla rather than the artificial kind. A small amount goes a long way, and it blends beautifully into recipes without any harsh or overly sweet aftertaste. I've used it in cookies, cakes, and even a bit in my morning coffee, and each time it adds a smooth, well-rounded flavor that really elevates the final result. The quality is consistent, and you can tell it's made with care. This is definitely worth it. It's a simple ingredient, but it makes a big impact.

This brand of flavoring was a first for me because I've always used McCormicks in the past. Its really enhances the flavor in my baked goods and will continue to be my new go to.

This is excellent vanilla extract for the price. I use it in my crêperie in our batter and in the whipped cream and it has a high end taste. No alcohol-forward aftertaste.

What I appreciate most is the consistency. Since it's cold-extracted, the flavor feels more rounded and natural. It doesn't fade during baking, and it holds up well even in recipes where vanilla is the star. The bottle size is also great, 8 oz lasts a while, especially if you bake regularly. And because it pours cleanly and isn't overly watery, measuring is easy and mess-free.

This Rising Star Baking Supply pure vanilla extract is perfect for my baking needs! I thought the price was very affordable, especially for how large the bottle is. Everything I have used it in so far has turned out quite well. I would recommend this product.

I bake banana nut bread from scratch and the Rising Star Baking Supply Pure Vanilla Extract adds a lot of depth to my baking. The vanilla extract is a medium vanilla flavor-not overly strong as to not take over the flavors of the baked goods. I definitely recommend buying a bottle to have handy for your pantry.

I paid no attention to the size when I ordered this bottle. It has the vanilla aroma you are looking for, for your many home baking needs. The best part is how many recipies this bottle lasts for! Still going strong! I will be buying this bottle for all of my vanilla extract needs.

What more can I really say in support of this product? Anyone that does any amount of baking, or uses flavor extracts in other ways knows that the pure extract versus imitation, the pure extract wins hands down. They also know that pure vanilla extract is quite expensive. So when you find a bottle of this size, especially when it is one considered to be among the top brands it is an opportunity too good to pass up. A 2oz bottle of the standard quality brands will cost you $5.xx, while a will put you out 4oz bottle $16.xx. Common sense should tell you the rest.

The product has more of an alcohol smell and taste than vanilla. I used 1 tablespoon in recipe and it didn’t flavor the food like the other brand offered by Sam’s. I will go back to the brand that has a stronger vanilla flavor. I was really hopeful because this was a lot less expensive.
