Hometown Provisions Gourmet Pure Vanilla Extract 1 Gallon

Poor value. Very weak and poor flavor profile. In terms of flavoring power, it is less than half the strength of the cheapest brand that I buy locally for around 50% more $$. So on a per-recipe basis this costs 33% more. However, the flavor profile is more disappointing than the price. It is extremely weak on the floral elements that make vanilla so amazing. Instead it tastes mostly woody with a hint of ... swampy.

I've purchased this bottle of vanilla back in May 2018 but didn't get to use it until today (August 2018). It was a complete disappointment. The extract has been diluted so much it smelled mostly of alcohol. The color wasn't a rich, dark brown as pictured but a much lighter, watered down brown. Definitely will NOT buy again.

Great vanilla extract that meets our needs for our baked goods and simple syrups for drinks! We use it frequently and have no issues with it and will continue to order it.

I love this extract-- it's a great buy in my opinion and tastes exactly like a brand for which I paid way more money. I have used it for baking and for flavoring glazes, and for hot cocoa. I will buy it again when needed.

This vanilla is the best value we have found and has a good flavor. We use a lot of vanilla as a bakery cafe since it is used in nearly every recipe. We buy this in bulk to keep a steady supply and have had no issues with the product or packaging.

Bakery must have! Great price with flavor. We use it for our ice creams and cocktails!

It’s pure vanilla extract. I need it for baking.

Absolutely fantastic. I own a bakery and use this in my cookies. Great taste and great price.

Great smell and quality

We use this vanilla for the muffins we make in our café. It's consistent and we've never had a problem with the quality of the extract. Giving four stars because one time a bottle fell off the counter and the cap cracked, had to transfer the extract to a new vessel - this has only happened once out of the hundreds of bottles we've had, so, overall we are happy with it and will continue to use it.

Love this vanilla extract, it has a great flavor, and it pairs well with the products we have in our store. It is not too strong, and it has become pretty important within our signature dishes. It's a reliable brand for our intents and purposes. The portion size is also very fairly priced and makes this product a worthwhile investment. I highly recommend this product for those who are looking for a reliable vanilla extract to use in their kitchens be it at home or in the workplace or what have you.

The price is painful but it does what is needed. Challenging for small bakeries to purchase vanilla at a tolerable price. The flavor works with our products.

We use Vanilla extract in almost everything we bake! Couldn’t run a successful Bakery with out it! Great price, good quality! We continue to purchase this product!

This was an ok vanilla, we use it in a few of our sauces and though I do think we've had better brands out there this one does the trick and haven't had any customers notice a difference since switching.

Great product tastes just like the higher priced brands, does the job well with for less money.

Can't beat the price, won't say its the best vanilla out there, but it does the job decently.

One of my favorite vanillas I’ve tried. I use this in my Custard and it always does the trick and gives the bold strong vanilla flavor

With the rising cost of all baking ingredients, this vanilla is an affordable option as far as real vanilla extract goes. Definitely the best for your money.
