Reviews for Shank's 4 fl. oz. Vanilla Bean Paste

I love the look of this, but I find the strength of alcohol-based vanilla extract to be greater than what's in this jar. I want to love it, but it's just not quite as intense as everyone is saying.

We really like this product in our creams and sauces where we want to show the bean flake -- at a reasonable price.

this vanilla bean paste is excellent. great flavour and pricing. we will absolutely order again and will recommend it to others that are looking for quality product.

This vanilla paste is a great addition to your dessert recipes. I love it for my hand made vanilla bean ice cream recipes. In some recipes I use this instead of extra

Purchased many time and never an issue. Has a nice taste and works well in my Vanilla Bean Buttercream. I have has a lot of good feedback

Great concentrate, big enough to last us a while, easy to use packaging, shipped really quick. Great quality for the price, some baked goods just need the visual of the seeds. Will continue to order again!

I Love love this vanilla bean paste. I use it all the time and clients love the taste and great flavor. Lots of beans and I purchase it all the time.

Such a fabulous and pure vanilla bean paste. We buy this from Webstaurant instead of going through our local distributor or getting it in the store because it really is a superior product to other ones out there. The vanilla is powerfully aromatic and is a great flavoring for all of our baked goods in store. Highly recommend this brand.

Taste like real vanilla pods, and for that price it is really a great price, I sometimes get a weaker brand and mix it in !

This was my first time for using vanilla bean paste. Wow! Great flavor and adds a very smooth vanilla flavor to any item that vanilla is the featured flavor.

Now that vanilla is so expensive, I can’t find ground vanilla beans. This vanilla bean paste is my alternative. It give me the pure vanilla taste and the speckles I like to see in my cakes.

very good vanilla bean paste, nice flavor and aroma. Good consistency, bottle is perfect. would recommend all shanks productos. Price is amazing also , can't beat it

Good product -- nice fragrance and flavor. It's not cheap but I'm always willing to pay for the real flavor of vanilla beans in my baking.

I've been using this to add the signature black flecks of vanilla bean to desserts. Wish there was more flavor though. I haven't bought vanilla bean paste from other brands before, but it uses xanthan gum to "thicken" the paste

I used this product for a wedding cake and it worked great tha flavor was awesome thank you will be ordering it again soon thanks

I am so happy that I came across this vanilla beach paste. It is so much cheaper than buying vanilla beans and I am able to get the same vanilla flavor I wanted.

We use this to make the most amazing vanilla fudge and vanilla rum creams! The little specks of vanilla are amazing and add so much to the interest and visual appeal of the products, over just using extract!!!

The Shank's vanilla bean paste is perfect for our custards and cheesecakes at our sweet shop. The paste is thick and rich making for flavorful curds and custard fillings.

Really great vanilla flavor and a little bit goes a long way! Really great way to add a real vanilla flavor without needing to pay for and keep fresh vanilla beans.

Delicious, very good quality vanilla bean paste. Use it on roll cakes and other recipe that calls for vanilla. Wished they come in bigger size.

I read the reviews and expected to love this product but sadly I don't. I don't think the vanilla taste is a rich as I was expecting. It doesn't have an unpleasant flavor so I will definitely use it up.

This vanilla bean paste is perfect for a our vanilla cakes. I would be more if they offered a larger size. Still a great paste to work with in baking and in frosting.

A great quality vanilla bean paste that is awesome for making our cheesecake filling for our bagels. The tastes is so much better than imitation.

This paste is fantastic. I wish they still sold the item individually, but its still a great value by the case as well. There is a noticeable difference from using the paste especially when baking. We also used for our non dairy ice cream, worked fantastic!

Love this vanilla works and taste great, easy to use, plan to order more when I run out! I feel you don’t have to use as much!

Anyone in the baking industry knows how expensive vanilla is these days and this is moderately priced. We love the flecks of the paste, so our customers know it's real vanilla.

The vanilla bean paste is excellent and very rich and concentrated. It is perfect for making our flan and has a nice vanilla taste and smell. Very pleased.

This works perfect for our vanilla bean fraps. We add a small amount to each drink, adds just enough vanilla taste and the vanilla bean appearance.

Shank's is a great brand of flavorings and always delivers high quality products. I love the great taste and flavor of the vanilla bean paste. It is great for making great tasting egg nog.

The flavor Of the vanilla bean paste was so good, especially in a buttercream frosting. A great addition to my pantry, I will definitely purchase again.

A great vanilla bean paste that is bursting with the rich, aromatic flavor of vanilla. The paste is great for making crème brulee or cream cheese spread.

Vanilla bean paste is so much more convenient to have in your pantry than vanilla beans. Same great flavor but you don't have to cut and scrape the pods. Love it for frosting for my macarons.

Wow! I used this paste in some vanilla bean cream cheese scones I made and just wow!! This paste gets the cred for all of the scones greatness! Yummy!

Shank's Vanilla Bean Paste has a great vanilla flavor, with a great look of vanilla flecks. I use it in puddings, Creme Brûlée, whipped Cream. It has a great flavor.

compared to other brands of vanilla paste, this brand is a little... goopy, due to the xanthan gum, but the flavor is spot on. it's a great deal and works in all sorts of different baking applications

ONE OF THE BEST VANILLA BEAN PASTE IVE USED, I LOVE SEEING THE LITTLE BLACK SPECKS ON MY CAKES AND DESSERTS, I ALSO LOVE THE WAY IT SMELLS

product that most bakers will use in quantity. A baker needs their extract to be consistent, flavorful, and (unless you are made of money) inexpensive. This is all three.

This product has an overpowering alcohol smell. I expected it to smell like vanilla but it doesn't. The other extracts from this same brand smell wonderful. It's more of a syrup than a paste. It also discolors the food, not a tint but a caramel color. I had to add more milk and even white gel food coloring to use it as a glaze. The glaze then still tasted like alcohol. I won't use this again in anything that won't be cooked. This did work well as a one for one for vanilla extract in baked goods. Thanks goodness the alcohol burns off. I will only use it for things as such.

Shank's 4 oz. Vanilla Bean Paste was milder than I thought it would be I would have gotten more of a kick from an extract but if I was looking fir that soft flavor this would be it best in icing and whip cream topping

Tastes great on baked goods and homemade ice cream. I love to see the little specks of vanilla on vanilla flavored foods. Makes it real and not artifical tasting.
