I’ll be honest, I’ve always been one to think, vanilla extract is vanilla extract. Whether it was store brand, big brand, or gourmet.  I figured the gourmet brands might have a little more flavor but I was doing alright with my store brand vanilla extract.  I mean, it made my cookies, it worked fine in a vanilla milkshake, whatever.

Then I had the chance to try Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract.  Wow.  When you open the brown glass bottle the scent hits you.  I swear it’s like you can almost taste the vanilla when you smell it.  There is a bit of an alcohol scent to it too.  (It does contain 35% alcohol).

Nielsen-Massey uses hand selected beans from the Bourbon Island of Madagascar.  They also use a cold extraction process the brings out all 300 flavor compounds in the vanilla bean.

I really wanted to get a sense of the taste difference in this vanilla.  I thought vanilla milkshakes might be a good way to try.  When I make my vanilla milkshakes I use vanilla ice cream and milk of course but I usually add about a teaspoon of of vanilla extract for more flavor.  (I might have also picked that up from a certain restaurant I used to work at).

Seriously love the scent of this stuff.  I have to take a couple whiffs of it every time I open it.  Anywho, I added about a teaspoon per serving when I decided to make vanilla shakes for the boys and I.

Everyone agree, it made a good milkshake.  We were all slurping up the last bit in the bottom of our cups.  
Nielsen-Massey also has some recipes on their site for ideas to use their extracts. One recipe on the site to use the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is Coconut Vanilla ice cream which sounds amazing.  Before we know it, holiday baking will be upon us.  This would be a welcome addition to your baking cupboard.

  24. I would love to have some of this for raisin toast in the mornings, or on baked sweet potatoes would be great.. Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Sugar from Nielsen-Massey

  28. The Ribs with Smoky Vanilla BBQ Sauce sounds excellent! I haven’t been brave enough to use vanilla in entrees before, but this looks easy and tasty so I’ll have to try!
