Reviews for Hometown Provisions Gourmet Pure Vanilla Extract 1 Gallon

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.

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.

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.

This is an okay vanilla that has it's place in some kitchens, just not ours. The flavor was there, barely, but it was overshadowed by an obnoxious amount of alcohol.

A must have in a bakery. Unlimited uses in the kitchen from cookies to pudding to cake and buttercream. 10 out of 10, would recommend.

One of our favorite vanilla extract to use, it’s smooth and tastes amazing in baking goods. We use it in our Tiramisu that sure does sell out fast!

I bought two bottles of the extract because I bought several of their vanilla beans and those were great. Unfortunately, the extract is not so good. I can barely smell any vanilla when I open the bottle let alone taste it on my baked goods.

This is probably not my favorite vanilla extract ! I felt like it was water down more so with alcohol! I could barely taste the vanilla it was altering the taste of my icing for my cinnamon rolls, so I cut up a bunch of vanilla beans that I had to hopefully strengthen the vanilla taste in it! So in hindsight I should’ve probably just gone with the more expensive one.

This pure vanilla is of excellent quality and has a great price too. I use it almost everyday in so many applications. I actually add vanilla bean pods in to take it to the next level.

High quality. I am completely satisfied with the taste of this vanilla extract. I use it constantly to up the flavor of bakes and candy. I highly recommend this.

Super delicious, high quality vanilla! Absolutely love the flavor, helps enhance whatever it is used with. Also offered at a very competitive price to what you can find at the store, or cotsco.

Hands down the best vanilla,strong flavor and is good for baking also,taste so good in your cakes,cookies,filings and even ffrostings and creams,you just tasted the best!

This vanilla extract is of good quality vanilla. The label doesn’t inform you of what region the vanilla beans derived from yet they get the job done.

I really like this pure vanilla extract. It's great quality for the price - it's far more competitive in price than what you see elsewhere.

This is a very nice Vanilla that comes in a larger size which is nice! It is pricey but cheaper than most places. Right now pure vanilla is priced high everywhere!

This vanilla extract makes my cookies taste delicious. Not only is the price reasonable, but the quality is awesome. It will definitely come in handy for many baking needs.

I do not use any other vanilla anymore -- this stuff is great and I use it in literally all my products. It's a great price too.

Highly recommend! great value, smells & tastes lovely. it’s pure extract, which is important to me, what more can i ask for? :-) It’s an investment, but sooo much better than running to my local shop in the middle of the night for more vanilla after realizing i was out. those days are over ?? ty webstaurant

This pure extract is a great value! Buying in bulk makes good sense... and cents. We use it in our cookies and cakes and love it's smoothness.

This is just as good as the very expensive name brand pure vanilla extract that I've bought in the past from my major retailer. I will for sure be buying this extract again!!!!

I always buy pure vanilla to make flan. At the other stores the price is super high. This pure vanilla has everything. Good price same quality as the others. I know because I tested them all. I recommend and will buy again!

Pure vanilla extract is getting more and more expensive; this 16oz pack offers good value for money. It's not top-shelf extract, so deserts that depend on pure and nuanced flavor would rather benefit from an actual bean. But this extract is plenty good enough for recipes in which vanilla plays a supporting role. Way better than the imitation stuff, by far.

This is really good vanilla. Great flavor for baking. No weird after taste. I is just a bit expensive. Most good vanilla is. expensive-just depends on our needs. I would purchase this again.

I really like the taste of vanilla to complement a number of things I make. It is SO expensive buying in smaller quantities, so this is incredibly appealing with no noticeable loss of flavor.
