Heilala Premium Vanilla Bean Paste – 2.29 oz | Chef-Preferred | Ethically Sourced Bourbon Vanilla | Founded in Tonga, Giving Back with Every Jar

This made my buttercream frosting taste like vanilla ice cream. 10/10 would recommend. Do I wish it was a bit less expensive? Yes. Because normally my vanilla products last a while, but this is already almost finished. However, for the quality of the taste, I will definitely rebuy.

Great vanilla! Strong aroma, easy to measure. Takes baked goods up a notch.

EXCELLENT!! used to make fresh whipped cream!! not a bad price either compared to other brands and this is a good size. going to order more!

So far, so good. I made this purchase after buying several jars (and going quickly thru them) of another brand (i won't post name here because i don't want you to think i'm a troll for that company). I made the leap with this large jar and hefty price tag, but I was pleasantly surprised that I needed less of this brand in my baking. This greatly stretches out the cost and makes it a super efficient purchase. (Note: the label on Heilala equates 1 teaspoon to 1 vanilla bean pod whereas other brands equate 1 TABLEspoon to 1 vanilla bean. I find that I need two teaspoons to match a vanilla bean and to replicate the same taste in my baking.) Overall, I'm pretty happy that this jar is lasting me a while and my customers aren't noticing any difference in taste or texture. END RESULT: quality taste that gives me a better bottom line; however I am only giving 4 stars because I do feel the vanilla taste is not as strong as a Madagascar Bean or paste, as the description suggests.

Do not waste your money on this product. Not true vanilla bean paste, this is vanilla extract with sugar, LOTS of alcohol and seeds in a slimy, liquid gel with an off-putting smell. Went directly into the trash.

Fantastic vanilla flavor! I've been buying Nielsen Massey vanilla for decades but decided to try another brand that is not corporate driven. This vanilla is now my favorite. I make vanilla custard twice a week for an elderly family member so I go through vanilla paste quickly. The flavor is wonderful and the price is much more reasonable than Nielsen Massey. It's a win-win.

I would leave ZERO STARS if I could. It’s unfortunated that I cannot return this. I have a jar of the delicious Heilala Vanilla Bean Paste at home and it is thicker, richer, has more vanilla particles and tastes amazing and comes in a little glass jar. o thought I was buying the same product, alas-NO. I shpuld have double-checked the list of ingredients. This smells like alcohol - which indeed it contains. It is basically a sugar syrup with some regular Vanilla essence in it with some vanilla bean bits thrown in. And it comes in a PLASTIC BOTTLE. Yuck-I cannot believe I paid $30 dollars for this junk. Regular va

Very nice

I regret buying this vanilla bean paste, it is nothing like my previous order from Native Vanilla. Pure trash with no vanilla taste or smell

Great product and arrived on time

Smaakt erg goed en is voor veel dingen te gebruiken. Maar de container laat lucht ontsnappen waardoor hij indroogd. Jammer en daardoor helaas heel duur voor wat het is.

Bien trop sucré c'est dommage ...

J’ai remplacé la traditionnelle gousse de vanille dans certain gâteau à raison d’une demi-cuillère de pâte, c’est parfumé et délicieux. Le pot est petit, mais les recettes nécessitent de très peu de pâte. Je conseille
