Taylor & ColledgeOrganic Vanilla Bean Paste with Seeds, 1.7oz Tube

This is a little pricey , but it’s great for baking and homemade ice cream

Just what I wanted to make vanilla Icemilk frozen! And use for baking! I love the flecks of the bean in it!

Delicious! The difference between this and vanilla extract is huge! Made my pancakes taste like boxed vanilla cake!!

Strong flavor.Tube makes it convenient

I've bought 2 more bottles since the first one. I love vanilla bean paste now for all my vanilla flavoring needs! It has a lovely taste and plus its REAL, you can see the beans in whatever you're making. Sometimes I do half the paste and half regular extract..it depends. I especially loved it in my creme brulee. It would be perfect for anything else you need to flavor vanilla... ice cream, cakes, you name it. And another plus for me is I can use ebt to purchase.

A year or two ago, I purchased a box of 12 tubes of Taylor & Colledge Organic Vanilla Bean Paste with Seeds on Amazon. It was quite expensive, and the tubes were small, but the convenience of the squeeze-tubes outweight the cost. I could not resist buying the lot, as I use vanilla bean paste in many or most recipes, even when they do not call for it (I wear my "mad scientist hat all too often).What I loved most about this product was that, (a) the paste is organic, (b) the tubes are much more convenient than dipping a measuring spoon into a jar, which sometimes can be messy, and (c) the taste is excellent. Sometimes (or most times), I squeeze the tube in with my ingredients and guesstimate if it equals a teaspoon or two. I frequently make homemade vanilla bean paste whipped cream, and also a variation by adding 1/4 cup of Ghirardelli's Sweet Ground Chocolate to the whipping cream mixture, both of which get rave reviews from friends and family (when I have time, I will update this review with both recipes).Anyway, since I gave away too many of the original 12 tubes to friends and didn't leave enough for myself, I was happy to find this larger tube of 4.9 ounces. It is a significant size that will last much longer, and I will enjoy using it. I highly recommend this product and will buy it again.

I've tried others but I really like the taste of this brand. I tried this one originally because of the easy squeeze tube and no contamination and mess with jars. I'm staying with it for the flavour and ease of use.

The media could not be loaded. A recipe I was making called for vanilla paste, so I ordered a tube of this. I was very disappointed. The formula is more of a slimy gel, and is slightly viscous and runny. The texture was pretty off-putting and reminded me of the slimy trail a slug leaves behind, which is likely due to the Gum Tragacanth used in the ingredients.There are visible vanilla bean seeds contained in the slime, but I thought the taste was artificial and cloying. I didn't get anything extra taste-wise by adding this to the recipe than I would have with straight vanilla extract.Next time, I am simply going to scrape some vanilla bean pods, use some extract and call it good.
