As I believe someone else had mentioned, I put vanilla on my vanilla!  This is my kind of vanilla.  I even open it up sometimes just to smell it!  And it's great in pies.  We also make a vanilla fruit dip and it's terrific!  I am just wondering how I am going to scrape the inside of the bottle to make sure I get every drop of it!  My husband even drizzled some over his vanilla ice cream.  And I have put some in my hot vanilla chai.  Like I said, I like vanilla on my vanilla!  I love that you can actually see the bean specs also.  It's definitely the best I have ever had!
