We only use Shanks to make our super popular cookies. Gives a natural coconut flavor and not artificial tasting.

The Shanks imitation coconut extract is fantastic! The entire Shank's line of extracts are super concentrated and have great flavors and aromas. Perfect for creating flavored simple syrups or for use in baking. It flavors things perfectly and is absolutely lovely. The coconut is not too strong and is well balanced. Adds a nice tropical coconut flavor to whatever food or beverage project you're working on. Definitely recommend.

This is by far the best clear Coconut that I have used. It makes my Pina colada cupcake icing delicious and doesn't leave an aftertaste. And it comes in a large bottle so that you don't have to order every time you turn around. you won't be sorry if you purchase this item

If you are looking for a very subtle coconut extract, then this one is great. I find if you want to have a stong coconut flavor, you need to add fresh coconut, coconut milk or coconut creme.

This clear imitation coconut is very light in flavor, i havent use it for baking but with meringues the flavor is very subtle! I need to use at least 2-3 tsp of it for 400 g of meringue, wich is a lot and can destabilize the recipe! Maybe should be use for creams or custards!

I like this imitation coconut for the value but it definitely isn't the strongest coconut flavor. I find I have to use almost double the amount I would normally use when using a more expensive/ more potent imitation coconut. I don't mind because it's such a great value!

We were looking for new flavors so we decided to give this a try. Its flavor blended well with our baked goods and weve been getting good feedback. One thing though, the flavor is on the weaker side so we have to use more but it works out especially in recipes that call for some liquid.

I like the flavor of this extract. It has a really good coconut flavor. What I don't like is that it is an extremely weak flavoring causing me to use a lot of it just to get any coconut flavor whatsoever. For the money, it should be a lot better.

This is an excellent coconut flavoring. Coconut is my favorite extract and I use it in lots of different baking things as well as my chai tea. I'm glad that I can get it in a larger container than the tiny 2 oz ones generally available in the store.

This is my own personal opinion. For this imitation coconut the quality is good; however, I did not use it at my bakery. I usually use the emulsions and was looking to save a few pennies by trying this, but after experimenting in my first recipe, I went right back to the emulsions.

This coconut is a great bargain compared to the tiny bottles I used to buy. The flavor is a little less strong so it takes slightly more per pie but still a great value.
