Plan on returning to the store. Used vanilla bean paste for baking before with awesome results. This brand was awful. Not sure if it was because of the agave in it or not.

Only brand I buy!

I haven't used this yet but am excited to try it. I love REAL vanilla flavor and am thrilled to find this at Sam's Club. The cost is much lower than anywhere else. I only use the real flavors when I bake and when I'm making any tomato based sauce, I add a little vanilla to make it better.

# Vanilla Powder - more vanilla powder than extract - cheaper than using whole vanilla beans - byproduct # Vanilla Extract - less extract than powder - a flavoring made by soaking beans in alcohol & water capturing the essence (flavor compounds) of the beans without the solids. # Agave - the base - NOT a simple "natural" sweetener - a highly processed product - Agave nectar is marketed as a healthy sweetener but should be avoided for it's high fructose content, which can lead to insulin resistance, increaded triglycerides, & potential liver problems - similar to HFCS - Those pregnant or breastfeeding: some evidence of uterus stimulation & contractions. Possibly unsafe if breastfeeding. - higher calorie than table sugar - created through fructan hydrolysis (a long convoluted process): core is crushed, distilled, filtered, hydrolyzed, filtered again, & "vacuum-evaporated".

Excellent quality

Magnolia star vanilla bean paste is great tasting and really smooth flavor and is great to add to coffee.

really great for baking, I love the the flavor. just shake well before using. it's definitely great for taking your baking to the next level. I use it for all my baked goods.

Love this! I've put it in coffee, hot cocoa, cream of rice, cannoli filling, and on vanilla ice cream. It's a more subtle flavor than vanilla extract. So it probably wouldn't be strong enough for baking.

This will be a added shelf product in my baking

Great flavor to your bake goods
