Rodelle Gourmet Pure Vanilla Extract, 8 Oz

Great taste and price

Ordered this in 2020 (I clearly don't bake frequently enough lol) and I'm just purchasing my second bottle now. I noticed an immediate difference when I switched from inexpensive store bought, to this brand. It smells and tastes wonderful. Highly recommend!

for me, the cost of this ($17.98) is almost the same as a 4oz bottle from the grocery store, so the value for just as high quality vanilla is perfect. i've made a few things with this so far and have loved them. definitely will be looking into buying this again when i need a refill.

I couldn't wait to try this, and then I couldn't wait to review it! I need to start by saying this: YOU WILL NOT regret this purchase! This is the most amazing Vanilla I've ever tried! So I emailed Rodelle and asked them what the difference was between their Gourmet Vanilla and their Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. This is what they replied to me with: "Our Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract is made just with Vanilla Beans from Madagascar. These beans give you the very traditional vanilla flavor that we are all used to. It contains no sugar. Vanilla beans can only grow in certain places, and another good location is Uganda. But when you take the Bourbon variety of bean to Uganda it takes on a slightly different flavor. So when we make a Vanilla with those beans and blend in Madagascar beans, we call it the Gourmet Blend. Traditional Vanillas used to add a little sugar, and we do to this one too so it has a slightly sweeter flavor like old time traditional Vanilla". This Vanilla has made all the difference in my chocolate chip cookies! I researched vanilla beans from Uganda and found this on Beanilla.com: 'Vanilla beans from Uganda have tones of milk-chocolate. The flavor is very bold as these vanilla beans produce a very high amount of vanillin, making them perfect for rich desserts and chocolates'. In any case, I can't recommend this Gourmet Vanilla enough. It's incredible!

The media could not be loaded. This vanilla is wonderful, but the bottle is designed poorly. When you try to pour the liquid out, it inevitably dribbles down the side of the bottle and so you lose a little bit of product with every use.

Great product

I only review things I really like and this IS a keeper! Intense flavor, good price and fits perfectly my instant ice cream recipe -- 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream in a jar + 2 lids of Rodelle Gourmet Pure Vanilla Extract + shake it like crazy for 45 seconds and boom! The closest you can get in the US to a handmade italian icecream!If anything, less alcohol taste would make it even better.

Rodelle is my favorite brand of Vanilla Extract. I love the Gourmet best. Can really taste the difference.
