I was a little hesitant to buy this. Glad I did; I love this vanilla product. From hot cereal and smoothies, to coffee and tea and hot chocolate, to baked goods and fresh fruit ... well, just about anything that could benefit from a little sweet richness without any alcohol. Now I keep a jar of it right next to the salt and pepper, I use it so often. It isn't fresh vanilla bean, but a close second. And it doesn't drip! :)

I was so happy to find pure vanilla in powder form. I needed something that would not thin frosting for cupcakes for my Wedding. Perfect consistency and it tastes delicious. I'm planning on getting more.

My daughter and I have Celiac Disease and needed a gluten-free vanilla with great flavor. This fit the bill for both. The flavor is excellent and can be used with all the receipes we make. It lasts about as long as the other quality vanilla's and has a rich flavor that really enhances the resulting cake, cookie, candy, etc. I wouldn't go back to using any other brand. I'm very pleased with the product.

I bought this vanilla powder in Whole Foods, I assumed that Whole Foods sell best products. Unfortunately WH also sell GMO, but they pay me money back even for empty bottles of this vanilla powder.
I do not recommend to buy this vanilla powder, especially for children and young adults, because maltodextrin is made from GMO (genetically modified organism).
Nielsen-Massey company also give me false info over the phone that they do not use GMO.
Here is part of document I received from Nielsen-Massey company by email:

"To whom it might concern:
Regarding MALTRIN M100 and M510 maltodextrin, these products are processed from some GMO raw materials. These products will typically test negative for GMOs by PCR method. Those products will not meet EU labeling regulations as a non-GMO...."

Never had powdered vanilla before and when I came across this product I just had to try it. And i really tried it... Id gone through nearly the entire jar making vanilla sauces in only 3 days. It tastes great and Ill continue to order it for use on special engagements, but with a nearly $30 price tag per bottle, its defiantly not for daily use!

I use this product about 2 years. The product is good but the lastest I bought they change lid packaging it is easy to get humidity I don't like it.

The problem with most vanilla's is that you can taste the alcohol used to leach out the flavor. With this you don't have that problem. Just pure vanilla flavor.
