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 - 1 year 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.

    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

    Deep rich and full flavored

    The baking vanilla has a deep rich full flavor that does not diminish when items are baked in the oven. I can taste the difference with the high quality of Watkins vanilla.

    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.

    Wouldn't buy it again

    I've heard good things about Watkins Vanilla, but in actual baking and icing use, I find it overpowers the recipe. I want my vanilla to be subtle, which this vanilla plus is not.

    The sugar

    I would have given this product 5 stars if it had included the "amount of sugar" thats in it in the nutrition facts. It tells you there's sugar in it but it doesn't say how much. I need to know that.

    Love Watkins

    I moved to Florida and there were some confusion about delivery, but Laura P a customer satisfaction representative took the extra time to call me and make sure my order was delivered. Love Watkins flavorings and spices.

    Glass vs Plastic bottles.......

    I was expecting my vanilla in a GLASS bottle.......not a plastic bottle. The picture on-line looked like the bottle was glass......just like it used to be so long ago. I am sick of plastic.....go back to the larger quantities (OR actually ALL the vanilla) in glass bottles PLEASE.

    WATKINS BAKING VANILLA

    I have always used Watkins vanilla and wouldn't use any other. I have used Watkins since I was a kid and my mother used it before me.
