Good deal? I’ve heard folks mention this stuff but never used it.

    I use it routinely in my baking. I plan on moving overseas relatively soon, and will probably ship a package that size filled with it with me.

    That’s a great price! Costco sells it online for $30 for 8 oz.

    Love it! I replaced my normal vanilla extract with this paste instead for kost of my recipes and its a clear winner! I buy two at a time so i always yave some. I highly recommend this paste

    Brother you better pick that stuff up. That’s an amazing deal and with paste especially a little goes a long way

  5. nielsen massey is fantastic and thats a great price.

  6. HndsDwnThBest

    This stuff is amazing, and that is damn good price for it!

    I use this stuff religiously and stock up whenever Costco has this deal. For a small bottle at a regular grocery store, it can cost you up to 25$ for an 8oz! This is a steal

    This is my favorite vanilla, I know it’s pricey but it’s worth it!

  9. Got this from Costco once

    Never gonna buy anything else

  10. Related: do you use the same amount? Say a recipe calls for 1tsp, do you use 1tsp or less because it’s more concentrated?

  11. Yes! Use it in anything calling for vanilla and it lasts forever

    Ugh that’s a great deal. I’m envious. I’d get AT LEAST two. That’s even the Madagascar vanilla which is a bit more floral. I’ve only ever used their blended vanilla paste.

    The first time I used it in French toast one morning, everyone in the house commented how the house smelled amazing.

    I love this stuff. Protip: spray your measuring spoons with cooking spray before you scoop it out. Otherwise a lot of it is going to stick to the spoon.

    I don’t do a ton of baking so I don’t know much about this, can anyone tell me if you’re just supposed to substitute this for vanilla extract? Does it make a big difference? Does it have the same shelf life as extract?

  15. shoresandsmores

    My Costco never has good vanilla deals 😭

  16. Spiritual-Project728

    Yep!!! I’m a big baker and have used it for years but I also like using a tiny bit of it to make fancy iced coffees at home

  17. Realistic_List7286

    It’s absolutely fantastic deal. It also takes your baking to a new level. It’s especially good in crème cakes. Where is this? I need some.

  18. letmeseeyoucrossover

    I’ve been waiting for it to come back so this is making me hope I’ll see it soon. It’s so good.

  19. Do you substitute that for Vanilla Extract? If so, how?

  20. botulism-chan

    Former pro baker here- get them while you can. It’s a good deal, good product quality, and good shelf life. Literally everything you could want in an ingredient. Also, considering the rise in grocery prices, decreasing food quality control, and growing cost of shipping for decent spices in the USA, it is logical to get a couple when able.

    Note: please only get what you’ll feasibly use! If you don’t bake often, one will do. A little quality paste or emulsion goes a long way.

    This looks like a great deal! Is it worth it for someone who is a novice baker and doesn’t have a lot of experience with using paste? I want to get it but I don’t want to waste it! Not sure its shelf life.

  22. realplastic

    I hope this comes back to my Costco soon. It only has extract and not neilsen massey 😟

  23. purposeful-hubris

    It’s the best on the consumer market, IMO.

  24. Known_Measurement799

    Pick it up! You will never use any other brand anymore!

  25. Face-palmJedi

    Vanilla paste is good, however I prefer the cuttlefish.

  26. Clamwacker

    Not sure if it’s the same stuff but I got one from the same brand that was bourbon vanilla. Makes amazing frosting for cinnamon rolls. Tried adding some to a waffle mix the other morning and it was amazing. Topped it with peaches, whipped cream, and Vietnamese cinnamon. Which now that I think about it, I got it all at Costco haha

  27. notasingle-thought

    Holy shit why is it so cheap, buy 2 or 3 OP

  28. Sea-Soup-8520

    It’s the best time to buy it at Costco, the * asterisk on the sign means it’s less likely to be restocked once it’s sold out or it will be discontinued and there’s a limit on how many are in the warehouse. ( I used to work as a vendor in Costco)

  29. littleboz204

    Trader joes vanilla bean paste is very good and $5/4oz for those that don’t have costco or want something a little cheaper 

  30. thefembotfiles

    you’ll never want to use anything else after trying this & yes that’s a good deal

    also makes a great gift for someone who bakes
    as alotta people won’t splurge on this for themselves

  31. tinychaipumpkin

    I love this vanilla bean paste I especially love to use it when I make madeleines

  32. Just saw this at Costco yesterday and wondered the same thing! So do you just replace the liquid vanilla used in a recipe with this?
