Villa Vainilla Pure Vanilla Extract - Premium Concentrated, Real, Natural, Gourmet Flavor from Mexico (8.4 Fl Oz Pure Vanilla Extract)

This is the only vanilla I will buy. It's made all natural in Mexico and tastes great in our baking projects.

I’m a retired flight attendant and this is The best vanilla on any continent. Great taste. Long shelf lasting.

I give this vanilla no stars but had to put one star to get the review to go through.This is not the same product, even though it is the same name, as the Villa Vainilla one can purchase in Mexico. The flavor, smell, and appearance of the vanilla is off. There is also a strange sentiment that settles at the top of the bottle as well.Unfortunately, I just opened the bottle and missed the window to return the product.I would highly caution anyone from purchasing this item from Amazon as I am left wondering if this is an imposter product and not actually produced by the Villa Vainilla company in Mexico.

Exact product I bought in Mexico- there isn't a better tasting vanilla out there. It really does make a difference in your baking.

I thought it was a little weak and thin compared to what a friend brought back from Mexico.

This vanilla has a subtle flavor and brings out the flavor of the chocolate without being too strong. I love it!

Good flavor, but I still prefer McCormick's. I just add more of it. I tried about five types of Mexican vanilla. They all had completely different flavors. This one was my favorite. I didn't see the point of even using the others and might give them away. This one is different and it will be fun experimenting with it in various recipes, using half of this and half of the regular kind. IT has a more exotic flavor that regular, which, to me is blissfully innocent in its taste. Especially in in custards. I thought this would be just more intensely "vanilla." Instead it adds a more tropical or exotic touch which I was not expecting. The other brands were not as intense as this and the flavors were sort of indescribably "awkward." If I make something with this, I might think, "Oooh, that's an interesting vanilla! " If I ate things made with the others, I'd think, "Hmmn... what favlor IS this?" Not anything like cardamom (which I really like . . . it is SO fragrant and delicate while also being exotic). Not floral. Not pungent. Not spicy or minty. Maybe the word "aromatic," might fit. I think "vanilla" fits more into the mildly floral and slightly sweet category. Now I see why some companies make "bourbon vanilla." I have yet to try that. The bourbon probably turns the vanilla flavor from soft and innocent into strong and bold.(I now must try that and revise the review if I"m wrong.) I thought this might do that without tasting of bourbon. It doesn't. It's a different breed of cat, which I was not expecting.

The villa vainilla I bought in Mexico (left) vs the one I bought here to replace it (right) the left one smells like typical, delicious Mexican vanilla. The new one smells like cheap alcohol and chemicals. The color is disgusting. I’ve shaken the bottle and it’s still looks like piss. Not even going to try to make anything with it because it’s obviously not what I ordered. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
