TERRIFIC PRODUCT!!

This Imitation Vanilla works very well in baking cookies. Cookies don't need real vanilla because of their baking for baked goods, imitation vanilla flavor will be fine. With cookies, it's almost impossible to taste the difference between the flavor of items prepared with imitation vanilla or pure vanilla extract.

Great size bottle

I do a lot of baking and it seems like every recipe calls for vanilla. Since I bought this big bottle it is great not to be always running out.

This Vanillas is anything but Vanilla, it’s great!

Amazing vanilla that’s the best bang for your buck. I exclusively use this for all my baking and it’s been the best since I made that transition. Honestly, I regret all the times I ever bought this because, for example, my scones have never been better. If you’re on the cusp of buying this, just do it!

Not real vanilla

For an imitation vanilla it tastes pretty good.

Good not great ---cheap

It is fake vanilla, I understand made from the bark of some tree. Having said that I use it regularly, in my waffles and pancakes and even in my cold brew coffee. It works for me but it does not have the flavor intensity of the real stuff.

Fan For Life!

I make my own vanilla, but I always have a bottle of this on hand. Shipped beautifully. Top was double sealed to prevent leakage. this is a staple in my kitchen. Great price, too. For imitation vanilla, this is really good. Definitely recommend for your baking needs!

Less expensive option...

Vanilla has gotten very, very expensive. This is a great option for recipes where the vanilla is not the star component. Affordable and tasty.

A good McCormick product

It's not Real Vanilla, but this Imitation vanilla that McCormick sells is pretty good! I would buy it again.

Quality has gotten worse for this product

Almost as clear as water they used to make it thicker better now it looks almost transparent when I add it to my drinks
