We bought this Simply Organic Pure Vanilla Extract (madagascar flavor) via Subscribe and Save. I thought it was a good value for the 4 oz bottle, under $7 after the added savings.

It does arrive in a glass bottle and as advertised and pictured. My reason for rating it 4 stars rather than 5 is that it's less flavorful than others we've had.

Others we've had, have been non-organic, and we switched because of the chemicals. We use almost twice as much though and the flavor is quite subtle.

We like that it's USDA Organic and will probably order it again for that reason. I might look into another brand in hopes of finding one a bit more flavorful.

Uploading some photos so you can get a closer look at it upon arrival. Smile. Hope this is helpful!

WEAK FLAVOR - WATERED DOWN - OVERPRICED

I love and use a LOT of vanilla. Right now I have five different bottles from different makes and different countries. This one is the weakest flavor in my cupboard, and seams to be watered-down. The ingredients list supports this suspicion. I'm disappointed that this item had an Amazon recommendation. So, if you buy it, just double or triple the amount normally used, and then it is okay - just overpriced.

It tastes like vanilla but the flavor is very weak. Very disappointing considering that it is not on the cheap side.
Also, pretty much everything else is wrong:
* there are unattractive bits of vanilla pods floating in the extract - not pretty
* tools are required to break the plastic seal on the cap
* the bottle is frustratingly idiotic and really unusable - all the extract runs along the bottle and drips off the bottom of the bottle. As I didn't have another bottle readily available, that's the point where I decided to bin the product.

I ordered this product last month and it was delicious, but I just now received my new bottle and it is terrible, so not sure if they changed it or it is rancid ow r what, but not good.
I order vanilla at least once a month as I use it for everything, but this is so bad. Not sure why as it was great in the past.

Pretty Good, but Not The Best

For a vanilla extract, this isn't bad. My wife has the more discerning palate, and she thinks its a bit "harsh" tasting compared to the Simply Organic Vanilla Flavoring, which seems to have no alcohol. I noticed the difference only after she gave me her opinion.

This product is still better than any of the major grocery store brands. We use vanilla flavoring in a "no-bake" application to make vanilla syrup for latte's. I'm not sure how this compares for baking.

Am Simply Not Getting It

It's good, it'll do, though for the life of me it's unclear why so many people are raving about this vanilla extract. For one, the bottle itself is about the worst design ever in my 45 years of baking, as it simply cannot be poured without it making a mess. Have likely wasted 10% to 15% due to a terribly-designed bottle dripping whenever measuring an amount, no matter how carefully this is done. Running over the lip, down the bottle and on the counter, Nuts! Thankfully I had an empty 4 oz. bottle on hand. Am glad that this was purchased as an add-on, as it saved me a bit of money in doing so, but honestly: this may be certified organic and all that but if anything it's the weakest vanilla extract I've ever experienced! Am sticking with the clear winner of Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract, 4 FL OZ and will gladly pay the extra for it, though honestly it comes in a drippy bottle too! (At least the 4 oz. size does) No regrets over this purchase really, weak but flavorful, though will be applying what is now known to be true and going back to my old standard.

My store bought vanilla didn't even smell like vanilla anymore

My store bought vanilla didn't even smell like vanilla anymore. Decided to get a better quality and this is very nice. Price was reasonable and it has a good taste.
4/20/18 update. While I like this product very much I am having problems with how the bottle pours. It drips down the bottle, wasting product and making the rim sticky and makes it impossible to remove the cap next time unless I use a pair of pliers! I guess I will stick with an organic vanilla, but it won't be this brand.
