 Not terrible but not worth a reorder eitherJun 25, 2010
By Niko B

The flavor is ok but not mind-blowingly great and how can you claim the product has no sugar when its primary ingredient is Invert Sugar Syrup (a mixture of glucose and fructose). Lord help you if you are diabetic. Read the ingredients .. this is basically sweetened vanilla extract with added vanilla seeds added and thickened with the Gums. It appears that some people really like this stuff but its not for me. I'll stick with the real beans.

 Vanilla paste is so lovelyDec 22, 2009
By Reverie
In all honesty, this is similar in potency to vanilla extracts I have tried. There are benefits to using the paste, however.
There is not much alcohol in the paste, so it's great to use for a true vanilla flavor without the bitter aftertaste (keep in mind it does contain some extract so I'm guessing there is a minimal amount of alcohol in this). This is certified kosher and is gluten free for anyone who might be interested in this info. Also, the vanilla specks create visual flavor...after all, people taste first with their eyes. I'll admit that I tend to overdo vanilla in my recipes, which is why the paste is so much better for recipes where the amount of liquid does matter (whipping creams, ice creams, creme brulee, etc.).
Be aware that the paste isn't really a paste. It's more like a syrup. I've tried other Lorann products before (mostly their emulsions), so I'm glad that this product meets expectations. It's comparable in price and potency to vanilla extracts, but I'll be using this paste almost exclusively for the reasons mentioned above.

 Perfect for making ice cream.Feb 02, 2009
By Samantha Chaintreuil
I bought this purely to make homemade ice cream but have found that I also really like it in my more delicate baked goods. It leaves nice flecks of vanilla bean and none of that alcohol aftertaste that you get with extracts.

love it!Aug 13, 2008
By mean incognito monkey
Wonderful product. I am an avid baker but lately the cost of bean is so high, it is prohibitive to me to use. So I stumbled across this product and decided to give it a try after reading other reviews. Delicious! Fragrant! I am so glad I found it.

Vanilla Paste For the Best Home-Made Ice CreamOct 24, 2008
By angelfood
"neat, sweet and erudite"
Well, yes of course vanilla beans would be even better. But I can't afford them. And this is the next best thing. I went through the 3 jars in no time this summer, making the best vanilla ice cream we ever had. And Oh, the strawberry made with seascape berries. MMmm, good! I bought vanilla paste at Trader Joe's but this is a much superior product in flavor. So I just reordered in time for holiday baking. I have not tried other LorAnn extracts as I usually buy organic. For this great product I make an exception. It delivers the goods to your baked goods and custards.
