This bottle is HUGE! I love cooking with Vanilla beans, but the expense and time consuming nature often leaves me pouring in vanilla extract. Having a large bottle of vanilla bean paste allows me to enjoy the full flavor that vanilla beans give with the convenience of pouring it out of a bottle. I use this in Creme Brle, vanilla bean cupcakes and vanilla bean butter cream. I just made vanilla bean cupcakes today and they are amazing! The specs of black show the vanilla love! I highly recommend this! I will be making 300 cupcakes this week and this is essential for making them taste wonderful.
