Pure Vanilla Bean Puree (Paste)
Pure Vanilla Bean Puree an easy delicious way to get the authentic look of vanilla bean seeds! Delicate. Decadent. Delicious.
Ken Cook, longtime president of Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, searched for the highest quality vanilla and uncovered R.R. Lochhead’s 100-year family legacy in Paso Robles, California. Cook’s Vanilla represents our drive to produce the finest vanilla extracts. Only ten percent of the world’s vanilla beans are picked when perfectly mature. We harvest the fully vine-ripened beans and cure them ourselves to assure a delicate, intense, beautiful vanilla. Through our cold extraction, we have captured this exotic essence in a bottle.
We use more vanilla beans in our products than most vanillas you buy, providing added strength and richness. Additionally, we go directly to the source to find our vanilla beans. Therefore, we only use the absolute best vanilla for our extract.
A easy and delicious vanilla perfect for the home cook, chef, or manufacturer. This product contains all of the flavor punch of Bourbon vanilla extract, with the authentic look of vanilla bean seeds, all suspended in a sugar syrup base. Like vanilla beans, this product shines where the vanilla bean seeds can be showcased. The vanilla seeds are perfectly suspended, so there’s no need to shake the bottle before use. Delivers the flavor punch of extract and the natural look of the vanilla bean. It is often difficult to get an intense vanilla flavor at home using only a vanilla bean. Pure Vanilla Puree gives you the best of both worlds. Perfect for vanilla ice cream, creme brulee, puddings, custards, sugar cookies, shortbreads, granola, and for vanilla bean glaze when mixed with simple syrup.
Cook’s Pure Vanilla Bean Puree (Paste) is made with the finest vanilla beans from Madagascar. Vanilla beans from Madagascar are of the Vanilla Planifolia variety. Often referred to as Bourbon vanilla beans, vanilla beans from this region are named after the French Bourbon Islands, one of which was Madagascar. This variety of vanilla is universally pleasing and enhances other flavors.
Flavor notes: Creamy, Rich, Sweet and Warm. Enhances other flavors.

i got this for making cakes but will return as It contains alcohol which is prohoited for religious reasons. The description did not mention alcohol, otherwise i would never have purchased this.

The flavor in ths aste is AWESOME. I use it instead of vanilla extract in all my baking. So good.

I use this paste all the time in my cooking as it has the BEST Vanilla Bean taste. I do not use vanilla extract at all since I have found this baking gem. If you bake a lot, this is a must have.

This vanilla bean paste is wonderful! I use it to flavor my plain Greek yogurt and this vanilla (with a little Xylitol for sweetener) makes the best tasting vanilla yogurt!

So yummy and you can see the little flecks of vanilla. I love it in buttercream frosting.

This product is great!! Better than using the regular Pure Vanilla in my cooking.
J. Anne (verified owner) –
The vanilla bean puree is an outstanding product and well worth the price. There is a richness and depth to the flavor I have not found in high quality liquid vanilla.

I give out my recipes, but get complaints that “Mine didn’t taste as good as yours”. I am convinced that little touches like using Vanilla Paste from Cooks makes all the difference in the world.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT ESPECIALLY ON ICE CREAM OR FROZEN YOGURT. MAKES A GREAT DIPPING SAUCE FOR FRUITS TOO.

Normally… I am not a fan of food that’s labeled it’s made with vanilla bean. They often have a bitter edge, to them for me… but I love making recipes with your Pure Vanilla Bean Puree (Paste).
The flavor is always spot on perfect, never bitter… and when added, it makes the best cream pies.
Not to forget, now… since I have it on hand and it’s pre-made (with no mess)… it can’t get any easier to use!
Thanks!

This vanilla paste is my secret weapon! It lends the very best flavor to everything you put vanilla into! The other nice thing is that it adds a touch of class with the vanilla bean flecks. I used to get this product elsewhere, but I buy it now from Cook’s. The price is very good, especially if you get a friend or two to buy also and then you don’t pay shipping. I HIGHLY recomment this vanilla. Can’t say enough good about it! I have also used the Cookie Vanilla, and their almond extract and they are very nice as well.
