I order from them often and you get a lot of free stuff when you order. The last order I made was $25 and I got 8 free vanilla beans (first time for the vanilla beans - have gotten multiple other free seasonings in the past - smoked sea salt, cajun seasoning, aleppo pepper, ground sumac, etc...). Their vanilla beans are always nice and plump and straight and look oily, unlike the store bought versions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752512042669771637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196019774850232782.post-81929759061746468012011-01-07T11:30:21.710-06:002011-01-07T11:30:21.710-06:00@elixir - I've heard bourbon is great too!

As good as Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla? Now that stuff is expensive! If you're impatient like me, Smart & Final and Costco have great prices on vanilla extract.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159663827376431272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196019774850232782.post-44681852313492037892011-01-07T11:04:17.810-06:002011-01-07T11:04:17.810-06:00The alcohol is definitely overwhelming at first, b...The alcohol is definitely overwhelming at first, but if you let it sit long enough its perfect! I gave this out as a few Christmas presents this year and suggested they use up their current bottle first. It should sit at least a month, but it will only get better with time!Dabbling In The Delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167371254573247239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196019774850232782.post-34675673396852894572011-01-07T10:55:57.684-06:002011-01-07T10:55:57.684-06:00Although I've often contemplated it, I've ...Although I've often contemplated it, I've never made homemade vanilla. I've always wondered if the alcohol wouldn't overwhelm the vanilla scent. Glad to hear you had good results.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007563758020973683noreply@blogger.com
