Five Star Chef Vanilla Paste, 16 Fl Oz - Rich & Aromatic Bean Paste for Baking, Desserts, and Beverages – Intense Flavor with Real Specks – Perfect for Cakes, Cookies, Ice Cream & More

This is just as good as the more expensive brands I’ve used and you get a substantial amount more than you do paying triple to use a known name brand. This is def worth the gamble. Sometimes I regret trying a cheaper option but it paid off in this case because I use a ton of this stuff!!!

I can't say enough about how good this product is in my baking. Taste is great, thickness is not too much or too little, just right. Only negative is the bottle. I transferred it into a glass jar and am very happy with it now.

This is such a great price for vanilla bean paste! The flavor isn’t the strongest, so I add a bit of vanilla extract in addition to the paste, but it’s great value for what it is!

I love this product, the flavor is amazing.

Very high quality product. The aroma is great. you can see the vanilla bean pieces.

Really liked it a lot I will buy it again I would recommend this to anyone very good

Okay I got this simply for the beans and how it will appear in things I make, I was not worried about the taste because I will still use extract. If you ARE wanting it for the taste, I would look elsewhere. I personally have only tried Rodelle paste before getting this one, but the taste of that is much better. The texture of this is a lot more ‘gel like’ (from the xanthan gum) than Rodelle which is more runny like a syrup. In the picture it’s on the right, Rodelle is on the left. The amount of beans appears about the same, and since that’s the main reason I purchased this, I am pleased and think the price is great for the amount you get. I feel like it tastes a little artificial(like a Splenda or sweetener type taste) which is what I don’t care for. I poured some into a smaller cuter bottle I have for my regular use, but if I was baking commercially the bottle it comes in is perfectly fine.

Flavor enhancer that will elevate any dish introduced to from baking to smoothies.
