Watkins Double-Strength Vanilla

Vanilla is the most popular flavor - and aroma -in the world today, and few companies can claim a name association with vanilla like Watkins can.  Our dedication to quality begins with buying only the finest vanilla beans. The best vanilla beans in the world are those of the Bourbon variety specifically those grown on Madagascar. This labor-intensive crop is of such high quality that a single bean will retail in a supermarket for as much as $3+ (US).

This exceptional vanilla extract is aged and mellowed according to our exclusive hundred-year-old process, and fortified with special ingredients to make Watkins Original Double-Strength Vanilla bake-proof, freeze-proof and double strength.

Our dedication to quality is what makes Watkins Original Double-Strength Vanilla the best vanilla you can buy.

Watkins Double-Strength Vanilla is:

• Premium-grade vanilla beans: For full, rich flavor
• Double strength: More economical than pure vanilla 130 uses (1/2 tsp/2.5 mL per use) per 11 oz./325 mL bottle.
• Bake-proof/freeze-proof: Flavor won’t dissipate when making ice cream or foods baked at high temperatures.
• Low in alcohol: Pure vanilla extract contains 35% alcohol, which can carry away delicate flavor components under high heat.

BAKER'S ALERT!! -For wedding cakes and other baked goods that need to be pure white, turn to the choice of professional bakers our crystal-clear White Vanilla with all the bake-proof, freeze-proof, double-strength flavor of our famous Original Vanilla.

Take the Watkins Test!

• Compare the aroma and flavour of Watkins Vanilla with your current brand.
• Place a drop of Watkins Original Double-Strength Vanilla on your right forefinger and then do the same with the your current brand on the left forefinger. Rub both forefingers with the thumb. (This rubbing creates heat, causing alcohol in the vanilla to start to evaporate.)
• Smell again - you will notice that the "Watkins" hand has maintained the strong vanilla scent, and your other hand has not! The reason for this difference is that the competitive brand, especially if it is pure vanilla, is unstable; the alcohol evaporates more quickly and the vanilla aroma is lost. Watkins Vanilla contains fortified ingredients which make it more stable; the alcohol does not evaporate as quickly, therefore producing a longer lasting vanilla aroma.
• Then compare the cost per ounce of each brand - and remember that because Watkins is double strength, an 11-ounce/325 ml bottle of Watkins Vanilla provides the flavoring efficiency of 22 ounces / 650 ml of standard pure or imitation vanilla extract!
