Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract

View On Amazon

Serious bakers know that there's an enormous gap between types of vanilla. Per the FDA's definition, "pure" vanilla extract means that the vanilla's flavor may only come from vanilla beans and nothing else; less-expensive imitation extracts, on the other hand, have a harsh, unpleasant aftertaste thanks to chemical additives and byproducts. The point? The good stuff ain't cheap, especially for those that bake day in and day out, so Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract makes for a great gift.
