RickS Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Where can I find some 'good' vanilla? And the second question is 'what actually is good vanilla'? Other than the price, how can one tell the better quality from the junk? Gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Really good Vanilla does not have the word "artificial" somewhere on the label. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Costco vets most of the products they carry very carefully. Vanilla is one. (Olive oil is another). Hola Market probably carries it if you don't shop at Costco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Since Costco sells it, it MÀY be available at Hola Market. If not, I am sure they can get it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 The best vanilla comes from Haiti. Really concentrated with little to no alcohol. Use half as much in any recipe. Echo the previous posts about Kirkland (Costco) vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckrckr Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Everyone has an opinion as to the best. Many say Mexico, or Tahiti, or Madagascar produce the best. So, it's up to one's own taste buds, together with understanding the ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
