McCormick Kosher Premium Vanilla Flavor, 2.0 fl oz Box

My experience with this product is ok. The smell and taste are more on the side of artificial than natural. Which is what it is. I personally prefer a natural real vanilla flavor. I paid a little more for the real thing.

Been using since standing on a stool helping Mama.That McKormick brand is something etched in my brain.So many uses,just the fragrance and flavor alone makes me want to cook.

This brand is always as good as any other, to me. I've bought this brand for MANY years, and will continue to do so. The price can't be beaten!

I did a blind taste test with McCormick real vanilla extract and this product. I couldn't taste a difference at all such a money saver.

I love this flavor. It gives it that taste that I'm looking for my cookies. I like the taste of imitation vanilla so this is perfect.

I used this premium vanilla flavor to make cookies and to make a vanilla syrup with and both things turned out great. This product had a great vanilla flavor. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and would buy again!

People like to knock anything that isn't genuine real vanilla but I am here to tell you that there are many times when you want the nostalgic factor that comes from an imitation vanilla like this one from McCormick. It's still extremely high quality with the correct flavor compounds to give vanilla flavor but in that extremely nostalgic birthday cake kind of way. I use a lot of real vanilla but sometimes you really just want your baked good to have that nostalgic taste factor and that ONLY comes from using this type of vanilla. I made the birthday cake from Momofuku Milk Bar using this vanilla, and it was exquisite. You NEED this vanilla for that type of cake for it to actually taste like birthday cake. All in all, a genuinely excellent extract.

I've really enjoyed using McCormick Premium Vanilla Flavor in my baking. I used it for cookies and also to make homemade vanilla ice cream, and it gave both a nice, classic vanilla flavor without being overpowering. Compared with other vanilla flavors I've tried, I think this one has a good balance of flavor and value. I also like that it's versatile enough to use in both baked goods and desserts. I would definitely buy it again and would recommend it to friends or family who do a lot of baking at home.

Extremely disappointed. Why ruin something as simple and classic as vanilla or strawberry extract with unnecessary additives like corn syrup? This is exactly what's wrong with our food system—cheap fillers added at the expense of our health, just to boost profit margins. I bought this expecting purity, not a sugary chemical cocktail. Consumers deserve better. I'll be purchasing from a company that respects real ingredients. Do better.”

Wasn't happy because it was a substitution and was 2 oz versus the 8 oz of the brand I bought for the exact same price. Weird how it cost them so much more to make than an off-brand.
