The vanilla I bake with

Two Rodelle staples, both on Amazon.

A 16 ounce bottle of Rodelle Pure Vanilla Extract
Pure extract · 16 fl oz

Rodelle Pure Vanilla Extract

Made from Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, for the rich, creamy vanilla flavor Gemma reaches for first. A splash in pie crust and cookie dough makes the butter taste even better.

Gemma uses it in her Food Processor Pie Crust and Chipless Chocolate Chip Cookies.

A 4 ounce jar of Rodelle Vanilla Bean Paste
Bean paste · 4 oz

Rodelle Vanilla Bean Paste

Vanilla bean seeds and vanilla extract together, so you get the flavor and the specks without splitting and scraping a bean.

Gemma uses it in her Chipless Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Vanilla questions, answered

What’s the difference between vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste?

Vanilla bean paste has both vanilla bean seeds and vanilla extract in it, so you get the flavor plus the little black specks. Extract gives you the flavor on its own.

Where can I buy Rodelle vanilla?

Both the Pure Vanilla Extract and the Vanilla Bean Paste are on Amazon. Use the links on this page to shop.
