Ugandan Pure Vanilla Extract for Baking and Cooking, 4 Ounce Bottle

This has a wonderfully rich flavor / scent. It reminds me a bit of Mexican vanilla but amplified x 100. I made the Browned Butter Chocolate Snickerdoodles from the recipe on the Nielsen-Massey website and they were great.

If you do not amplify it then it is honey flavored. If you amplify it to get its natural state of smoky and woody then it pairs well with a butter pecan cake. It apparently pairs well with maple syrup and toasted nuts if that helps anyone.

This vanilla is potent, but not too strong. A small amount is sufficient. It definitely makes a more flavorful final product. If the cost is a bit too prohibitive, then use another vanilla for a multi-ingredient dessert and keep this one for the fewer ingredients. Let it shine.

Nielsen Massey always has amazing vanilla. Was very excited to try the Uganda. Really good vanilla.

I have purchased over 100 boxes of N.M. vanilla. (The photos show the beautiful gift boxes they come in...even the cat approves!) Seriously though, Nielsen Massey vanillas are the best! Their Indonesian vanilla is my least favorite. It is lighter in color and flavor. I does have a nice earthiness and a touch of spice but it's not as potent. I feel like it could age longer. With that said, I still purchase it and use it. Sometimes you want something to just hum vanilla and not Mariah Carey you through each bite.

I bought this for baking and it’s exactly what I expected.

Delicious flavor. The Tahitian vanilla bakes great but is also a really great (better) option for items that do not need baking.

An excellent complex subtle vanilla. Floral notes. Divine in a good Ice cream. Be careful to not destroy it with heat. If you like Ben and Jerry's cloying frozen feces, look elsewhere. This is for those with a developed palate.
