Co Vanilla Bean Infused , 25.4 Fl Oz for Coffee, Cocktails, and Cooking

Love to have a syrup flavoring that is made well and made naturally.The flavor is great, not too strong so you won’t overpour. A real peppermint flavor. Made great drinks over the holidays

Why did you pick this product vs others?:OK, first off - I'm a really good cook. I've made my own syrup (and vanilla extract) for several years now. This stuff is as close to homemade as you're going to find on the market (save for maybe Etsy from another homemade cook). I only bought this after a little kitchen mishap (after over a month of 12-14 hour days / 7 days a week of working and sheer exhaustion). I purchased a variety of top rated syrups from Amazon and gave 6 a go. This one was by leaps and bounds better than the rest! Good job Sonoma Country!Taste:Excellent! Definitely taste a high quality, pure vanilla extract with the "caviar" to boot! Not sure which beans they use, but it's a nice touch to the regular Madagascar variety used by most of the other "all natural" syrups I gave a go before going back to cooking my own. I at least know if I am ever in a pinch, I've found my back-up "go-to." Exceptional syrup and earns the Blue Ribbon in my home taste test. Ingredients:Top shelf ingredients (and they do not skimp on the vanilla either)! VERY flavorful with a surprising bean I haven't quite figured out! Can definitely tell they used both the extract and the bean when cooking up their syrups! And since it takes 2 years to get the best flavor from homemade extracts, it would take me a LONG time to figure out (and there are too many bean varieties and only so much coffee a girl can drink). And although pricey, they do not water it down to make you pay even more in the end. I used less of this syrup to get the same sweetness but with a whole lot more flavor!

I'm hesitant to try this because there are red pepper-like flakes in the syrup. I also can't tell if the amber color is normal since the official photos look more pale peach/yellow. Maybe it's because this bottle is halfway through its shelf life?Aside from those concerns, the glass bottle looks and feels classy and was securely double bubble wrapped.

I just bought this larger bottle after finishing the smaller one I bought to taste test. It’s now my go to for flavoring my drinks and coffee.Don’t hesitate to try it if you love vanilla! Decent ingredients.

I purchased this brand because I thought it would taste homemade due to the ingredients. The flavor is way too much like an altoid, not a candy cane peppermint flavor. I’m disappointed, but it is what it is. Just wanted to share in case you thought of buying it, don’t.
