Q: This states in multiple places it is gluten free yet in the Specifications section, it states it may contain Wheat. Which is it?

submitted by Satisfied customer - 9 months ago

  • A: This Product is Gluten Free. The term "gluten" refers to proteins that occur naturally in wheat, rye, barley and cross-bred hybrids of these grains. Products that do not contain these grains or derivatives of these grains are naturally gluten-free. Most Watkins products, including gourmet spices, extracts, pepper and grinders are free of these grains, therefore are naturally gluten-free.

submitted by valued customer - 10 months ago

Nasty aroma, off-putting flavor

Cant stand this stuff and can tell instatntly if it is used in someones baking. Ingredients include "natural flavors" which are not listed, so there you go... I want nothing but vanilla, not whatever these weird, nasty additives that make this product terrible and what you bake terrible. Do yourself a favor and get somthing much better that if an extract is at most: Water, alchohol and vanilla beans. Really, I hate this stuff that much and it ruins your hard work.

Not sure on flavor.

Used the vanilla extract to bake Christmas cookies. Smell is light, color is pure. Didn't have any issue while baking. it's very smooth. Not sure on flavor. I wasn't able to taste as much vanilla in the cookies. Bottle design is perfect, doesn't spill all over as neck of bottle is long. Package design and functional is great.

Luxurious Vanilla Extract t a Batgain Price

My regular warehouse brand of vanilla was out so I had to buy a substitute. This was a good deal. I thought I’d just get through the bottle and go back to my old brand. No way…this is too good. It’s now my new brand. It has a fully balanced, floral, luxurious aroma and the taste in baked goods is even better. It really comes through in custards, cakes, and cookies. An awesome addition to your pantry. Also a great value.

Syrup not pure extract (contains sugar)

Tastes fine but be aware it contains sugar. If you’re making cookies not a big deal but if you are trying to go sugar free it’s confusing

Mom used this, still as good as ever

Why pay more ? Mom always used this, and it's still as good as ever. Good vanilla flavor without the high cost.

Mild smooth vanilla

While this vanilla does not have the strong vanilla flavor of previous years, it is still a smooth flavor without the sharp alcohol aftertaste of some vanillas. I used an entire bottle in 1.5 gallons of ice cream to achieve a light vanilla flavor. I will be looking d for a stronger vanilla but would consider using this again.

Not pure vanilla

The title is misleading. Vanilla extract is the 4th ingredient.

Not pure vanilla

It worked and it smelled great but it’s not Pure vanilla. Vanilla is the third ingredient after water and sugar.

Not Like It Used To Be

My family had used this vanilla for 3 generations. Unfortunately, the quality since the name change to "Baking Vanilla" has changed. The flavor just is not there anymore.

Used in coffee

I use it a lot. I like to put it in my coffee for a no calorie treat. It takes away some of the bitterness of some coffee brands.

Love all the flavors I have been able to find.

First time I found them I knew I was onto something. Never bitter, lots of fragrance I usually rush home to start thinking of all the things I can make. Everyone loves it when they see me get out of my car. Samples of every flavor I've tried. Only bad thing is they expect me to bring them all the time. They are to busy to bake but not to eat. I'm retired and live on a fixed income. Told the help out. Yes, yes, I will but I'm still waiting.

Great Product - Where is Vanilla Nut!!

I use vanilla extract weekly with my baking. Since my mom passed away, I have become the family baker. My mother and I used vanilla and vanilla nut in our cakes and now while placing my fall order I discovered that vanilla nut extract has been discontinued. I'm very disappointed!!
