## Description

McCormick Culinary Imitation Vanilla Extract is made with chefs in mind to enhance recipes and inspire new dishes. Baking vanilla extract lasts over an extended period and resists discoloration, even when cooking a dish at high temperatures. The vanilla flavoring uses artificial vanillin to achieve its smooth, delicious taste without the dark color of natural vanilla.Vanilla is one of the world's most famous fragrances and flavors. It's no wonder, then, that McCormick Culinary Imitation Vanilla Flavoring is a widely sought-after alternative to pure vanilla extract for baking. This replacement is revered for its ability to enhance our perception of the flavors in nuts, coffee, fruit and chocolate.Many people use vanilla in quick bread, beverages, sauces, desserts and other dishes. Imitation vanilla extract is perfect for adding this smooth vanilla flavor to your favorite dishes. As an essential ingredient in breakfast favorites such as waffles, pancakes, French toast and muffins, artificial vanilla extract can also enhance various desserts, including flan, mousse, frosting, pudding, brownies, cookies and cakes.McCormick Culinary Imitation Vanilla Flavoring comes in a 16-fluid-ounce container and is kosher and gluten-free, so you can serve more customers with dietary restrictions.Is there a difference between pure vanilla and vanilla flavoring? Imitation vanilla extract tastes just like the real thing. You can use imitation vanilla extract in any recipe that calls for natural or pure vanilla extract, as it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between the two. This quality makes it the perfect low-cost vanilla substitute when baking or cooking.

Review: Great value for the money. - I know vanilla better than most people. I make my own extract, from beans and alcohol. It's about an 18 month process, though little work is required. Vanilla is a superb seasoning, making it one of the two most important of all the spices (black pepper is about 60-70% of the spice business (by dollar) And vanilla is the second most valuable spice. And who doesn't love vanilla? Vanilla ice cream is the single most asked for flavor, and in some stores, accounts for about half of all sales! But some recipes that call for vanilla just need it for a base flavor, you are never really tasting the vanilla. Like my waffle recipe. If you make it without vanilla, it tastes a little off, a little flat, but you are not really tasting the vanilla. And that is where the imitation vanilla comes into play. At a fraction of the cost of even the cheapest vanilla extract, the imitation vanilla can provide that base flavor for a fraction of the cost of the real stuff. Vanilla extract contains over 200 different chemicals, most in minuscule amounts. But one, vanillin, is THE primary flavor of vanilla. That is what is in the bottle, just vanillin. So recipes where vanilla is not the key ingredient (waffles, pancakes, desserts strongly flavored with other flavors, etc.), this stuff can step in and provide that flavor base, for a fraction of the cost. Good value, from a trusted source.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I tried it after reading an article about imitation versus real vanilla and am happy I did. Real vanilla is insanely expensive right now. This works as well, has a wonderful flavor, and is a great value. So glad I stopped being a vanilla snob! BTW, the article said the imitation works really well where it is not the front and center flavor, so in cookies and cakes and other baked goods where the recipe calls for that standard 1 teaspoon. If the vanilla is THE focus of what you're making, then opt for the real stuff as it has more complex flavor notes. America's Test Kitchen discusses the difference in an article on their site dated Sept 16, 2022 if you want to read more.
