Taylor & Colledge Organic Vanilla Bean Paste with Seeds, 1.7oz TubeUSDA Organic

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.

Great taste

This is the first time I've used a vanilla paste and it did not disappoint! It is full of vanilla flavor in a much better way than liquid vanilla extract. I use this to make homemade vanilla ice cream and it turns out soo nice. Will continue to use this instead of the liquid extract.For some reason I cannot leave a separate review for the lavender paste I also purchased so I'll just say that I wasn't sure what it would taste like, it wasn't bad but I feel like I got more of a smell than a taste of lavender. I also used this in a batch of ice cream and it turned out pretty good.

Strong flavor.Tube makes it convenient

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!!

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

Taste is fine, but paste is difficult to dissolve even in hot coffee. Really odd
