McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract 454 grams

I ordered it from Italy ! Great product liked I remembered!! Shipping time with a 13 day delay but unfortunately caused by the Italian laws . Certainly I will order it again as soon as I'll finish it , waited 23 days but completely worth the time and money !! 😄

Of all the vanilla extracts I have tried, McCormick Vanilla Extract comes out on top for the following reasons: 1.) Price. Let's face it, vanilla is expensive in almost every form. This product remains affordable. I grew up using this, and after trying all the others, I keep returning. 2.) Value. You cannot buy GOOD vanilla at this price anywhere. The is a 16 oz (pint) bottle for $20! Find me another good brand at this excellent price! 3.) Consistency. This vanilla, as I understand, is a blend of the world's various vanilla beans. As each variety has its own unique flavor, McCormicks blend remains consistent. You cannot tell the difference between bottles, which speaks highly of the consistency. The scent is heavenly and complex. It does NOT smell boozy. 4.) Alcohol content, yeah it's there. It's not overpowering and the vanilla really comes through, not the alcohol. 5. Flavor: the flavor is consistent and predictable. No surprises. The bottle is now plastic, which I have not noticed affects the taste. I actually dropped it (closed) and it did not break. The flip-top lid stays closed. These are the reasons I keep coming back to this brand. Believe me, you can spend a LOT more for a lesser product.

I only gave three stars because after waiting three months it arrived. Huge disappointment. I know extract is pricey due to the length of time it take to make. I will make my own. I opened the bottle and my nose was assaulted with an awful pungent odor, so strong I did not even dare use it. I got over myself and used it for an iced coffee, yuck...

I recently purchased the McCormick All Natural Pure Vanilla Extract in the 16 fl oz size, and I couldn't be more delighted with my purchase. This product is a game-changer for anyone who appreciates the art of baking or cooking. First and foremost, the size of this bottle is fantastic. With 16 fluid ounces of pure vanilla goodness, it's a great value for your money. Whether you're an occasional home baker or a professional chef, having this much high-quality vanilla extract on hand is incredibly convenient. No more running out mid-recipe! What truly sets this product apart, however, is its ingredient list. The fact that it's made from all natural ingredients is a huge selling point for me. Knowing that I'm using a pure, unadulterated vanilla extract enhances the flavor of my desserts and gives me the confidence that I'm using a product free from artificial additives or preservatives. The aroma and taste of this vanilla extract are unparalleled. It fills the kitchen with a rich, warm scent that's simply irresistible. The flavor it imparts to my baked goods is deep, complex, and utterly delightful. From cookies to cakes, the McCormick All Natural Pure Vanilla Extract elevates every recipe to a new level of deliciousness. I also appreciate the packaging. The bottle is sturdy, the cap is easy to open and close, and the label provides clear information about the product. It's evident that McCormick takes pride in delivering a high-quality product to its customers. In conclusion, if you're looking for a top-notch vanilla extract that not only comes in a generous size but is also made from the finest natural ingredients, look no further. McCormick All Natural Pure Vanilla Extract is a must-have for anyone who values exceptional flavor in their culinary creations. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and I will certainly be purchasing it again.

Great flavor and value.

This McCormick Vanilla Extract is the one that I grew up with. Many people giving low reviews say that the extract here tastes like it has too much alcohol, like the alcohol has too much of a concentrated taste. So, I looked it up. In order to be considered Pure Vanilla Extract, it must have a minimum of 35% alcohol by volume (ABV) (equivalent to 70 proof). The remainder of the liquid is water and 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon. So, there you have it! The companies Must put in this amount of alcohol for it to be considered an extract. And why do they use so much alcohol? The alcohol acts as a solvent drawing out the flavor from the extract. As far as the baking performance, I use this vanilla baked into chocolate cookies and it tastes good overall. The quality of the vanilla seems good. The brown color is quite typical of vanilla extracts. It tastes out of the bottle like a lot of alcohol mixed with vanilla extract. It tastes very concentrated. So, out of the bottle it doesn't taste good for sure at least to me. There was no leakage from the bottle. It was closed well upon arrival. . The reason that this is not a 5 stars review is because in my limited experience, the larger size McCormick Vanilla Extract tastes the same as this Small Batch one. So, I would have done better to simply purchase the larger size only for the cost savings.
