What You Should Know

You'd find this in the baking aisle or specialty extracts section, often grabbed when planning holiday baking or an indulgent weekend dessert. It feels artisanal and slightly nostalgic — a thick, speckled paste that delivers concentrated vanilla; the ingredient list (sugar, vanilla beans/extract, water and a natural thickener) points to a formulated processed culinary product rather than a highly industrial ultra-processed formulation.
