Simply Organic Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract 4 fl. oz.
Nothing but pure, organic vanilla extracted from premium Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans (Vanilla planifolia), with organic alcohol as the extracting agent and flavor carrier, and a little water as the liquid base. This is REAL vanilla. No GMOs. No sugar. No fake color. No fake flavor. Certified Organic by QAI. Kosher Certified by KSA. Gluten Free Certified by GFCO. Warm, drool-worthy aroma. Deep amber color. Rich flavor so smooth and naturally sweet, Cook's Illustrated voted it the #1 Vanilla Extract in 2018. We believe it's the best pure vanilla extract you'll find.
We get our Well Earth vanilla from small-scale farmers in Madagascar who are organized into a self-governing cooperative. Their vanilla processing is very decentralized, with the majority of the blanching and curing being done by the farmers themselves, providing good quality beans with an excellent flavor profile.

Suggested Uses
Along with being a must for baked goods, pure vanilla is the ideal no-sugar flavor enricher for smoothies and protein shakes. And, when did you last have real, homemade vanilla ice cream? Our vanilla extract makes even that worth the effort. But did you know it's an excellent addition to more savory fare, like our stuffed acorn squash, roasted tomato bruschetta and vanilla bourbon glazed salmon? Try it for yourself.Quality Starts at the Source
Imitators are everywhere. But no amount of artificial flavors, sugar or preservatives can help these cheap substitutes match the taste or experience of using pure, organic Madagascar vanilla in your kitchen.
Pure Vanilla
Pure vanilla comes from the beans (or pods) of Vanilla planifolia, an orchid that grows in tropical climates. Flowers are carefully pollinated and each bean is harvested by hand. Once picked, they take up to 9 months to cure, sweat, dry and mature.
Imitation Vanilla
Imitation vanilla is created in a lab — often from paper manufacturing waste streams or petrochemicals — to create a synthetic vanilla flavor, fast and cheap.
