Five Star Chef Vanilla Paste, 16 Fl Oz - Rich & Aromatic Bean Paste for Baking, Desserts, and Beverages – Intense Flavor with Real Specks – Perfect for Cakes, Cookies, Ice Cream & More

I love this stuff it pours beautifully. It tastes perfect. Not too sweet and adds those beautiful vanilla flecks to my recipes. I like to use a little extra in my recipes because I like not because it needs it.

Nice and thick, very good flavor

This is just as good as the more expensive brands I’ve used and you get a substantial amount more than you do paying triple to use a known name brand. This is def worth the gamble. Sometimes I regret trying a cheaper option but it paid off in this case because I use a ton of this stuff!!!

we use this to make homemade vanilla bean coffee syrup and it taste amazing

This is my third purchase. I add it to my plain organic whole milk, or Greek, yogurt. It is delicious.

This is such a great price for vanilla bean paste! The flavor isn’t the strongest, so I add a bit of vanilla extract in addition to the paste, but it’s great value for what it is!

Okay I got this simply for the beans and how it will appear in things I make, I was not worried about the taste because I will still use extract. If you ARE wanting it for the taste, I would look elsewhere. I personally have only tried Rodelle paste before getting this one, but the taste of that is much better. The texture of this is a lot more ‘gel like’ (from the xanthan gum) than Rodelle which is more runny like a syrup. In the picture it’s on the right, Rodelle is on the left. The amount of beans appears about the same, and since that’s the main reason I purchased this, I am pleased and think the price is great for the amount you get. I feel like it tastes a little artificial(like a Splenda or sweetener type taste) which is what I don’t care for. I poured some into a smaller cuter bottle I have for my regular use, but if I was baking commercially the bottle it comes in is perfectly fine.

This stuff is kind of nasty, it’s like a gel it has what appears to be vanilla in it, but it does not taste like vanilla. It actually tastes like some kind of chemicals. And I thought maybe it would be better in actual batter it would taste like vanilla, but it doesn’t so I still had to add my own vanilla. This is a waste of money. Unfortunately they don’t offer a return Because it’s perishable so you’re just stuck with it. Absolutely would NOT buy this again or suggest to anyone.
