DanncyVanilla Dark & Clear 33 oz 2 Pack – Authentic Mexican Vanilla Flavor

I bought the clear and dark vanilla and to be honest to me the dark doesn't smell at all of vanilla and the taste was unbearable.I don't cook with vanilla, but this my sound crazy to people but, I swear it works. I love to fish and I'm always pestered to death by nats and mosquitoes. I was told a long time ago that nats and mosquitoes hate the smell of vanilla. I have spent hundreds of dollars on mosquitoe spray that never really works and then smell like the spray afterwards. I bought a spray bottle just for this.So I tried the vanilla out a few days ago and it truly works mosquitoes and nats hate the smell of vanilla. Another thing I like about it is you can spray your face and not worry about chemicals getting into your eyes and mouth. Ater I spayed myself I sat in my chair on the lake I was at and sat and watched as a swarm of mosquitoes came about a foot away from face and not a 1 came up to my face. I was truly amazed of how good it worked.So I just ordered 2 more bottles of clear vanilla so I want run out so fast. So if you don't a lot of fishing this is the ideal thing to use

Received well packaged, no leaks.

Love the taste and smell of the vanillas! Haha! I use it in almost everything especially iced coffees, waffles,cakes and pancakes!

Great stuff

OK, long story. I first had some of this at the home of my x-wife and liked the flavor so much that I wanted to get some. Some of the reviews said it was not pure vanilla extract which confused me. But none of them went into much detail about why they thought it was not pure vanilla. The closest they came was the taste was wrong. But taste is subjective. I got some anyway just in order to run some tests on it. Alas, testing for Vanillin is not a possibility in my lab.Nevertheless, I planned to test side-by-side the Danncy product against the Rodelle Organic Vanilla Extract product that I already had. I have a chemistry degree and a small home lab so this seemed like a fun thing to do on a Sunday night. I took two flasks with 200 ml (@ 1 cup) of Whole Cow’s milk. I added to one 4 ml (@ 2 tsp) of the Rodelle and to the other 4 ml of the Danncy. Mix them for the same about of time on my magnetic mixer and the taste each. That was the plan.I received the Danncy Vanilla today. I had an unopened bottle of Rodelle already. There was a very noticeable difference when I opened them. I did not notice anything when I opened the Rodelle bottle. When I opened the Danncy, I was immediately overwhelmed by the Vanilla smell. It was wonderful! Very powerful and rich.Then I read the label. I did not need to do the above testing. I just needed to look at the ingredients.Roddele: “ORGANIC VANILLA BEAN EXTRACT IN WATER AND ORGANIC ALCOHOL” (Caps not mine).Danncy: “Vanilla bean extract in water and natural favors”.What!!!! How can they claim to be pure vanilla and still have NATURAL FLAVORS added (Caps mine)? It is very ridiculous.I did go on with the testing but had to add 4ml before being able to taste the vanilla in any of the samples. At 4ml, I could taste it in Danncy "Vanilla". I still will use it but will not try to fool myself into thinking it is “pure”.I could have tested it with ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) but do not have lab-grade ascorbic acid on hand at this time.

Didnot try yet due to Mexican pure vanilla is so good an hard to find glad I got this for baking an flavoringbpure vanilla since it’s now expensive an pure vanilla is hard to find or afford try it

I’ve been looking for this Vanilla for forever!! A friends mom made cookies YEARS ago and they were amazing. I had them again but something was different. It was a tiny but specific taste difference. Fast forward 14 years later I have a baker friend and I asked what kind of vanilla she had bc the taste of her frosting and cake specifically reminded of that cookie I had 😅 she showed me, I smelled it, and it was the one! I ordered it and am so excited to get this quality vanilla I’ve been looking for at such great proportion and price! I’m done looking at all those other brands that I wasted money on bc it was exotic and thought maybe that was it. It never was. I’m stoked to have this vanilla!

Was concerned how the product would ship, but it was wrapped and packaged great.
