It’s tempting to buy this product more often because it’s so much cheaper but it’s just not the same as the real vanilla essence products. It’s a subtle but noticeable difference in taste. But if you’re not too picky about your vanilla flavour or your recipe isn’t about the vanilla then go for it.
This is the best option for a substitute for real vanilla. I use it for the fact that it has 0% alcohol. It doesnt let you down and it gives the best vanilla flavour
If you are looking for a great imitation vanilla I highly recommend this one. I always use it in things like cookies unless I want a slightly stronger flavour then I use real vanilla
Tastes fine on its own but I prefer to shell out the cash for the real thing. This does the job but with imitation, you don’t know what you’re really getting so read the labels carefully
I am not a fan of the taste if the imitation vanilla, id rather go for the real deal any day! The taste of this is very strong not in a good way, ruins the flavour for me, especially in drinks
I buy this all the time, its my go to vanilla essence. At the price point that it is, if makes perfect economic sense. At the same time, it give me the vanilla falvouring that I need in the baking that I do. Could it be improved? Certainly, a little less water would be great, but then the price would surely go up the more concentrate it gets.
I normally use vanilla bean or paste but I 100% always have a bottle of this as backup in the pantry. It works brilliant altho you do need to use alot more to get the same flavour as the real stuff. Cheap alternative when i dont have any real vanilla.
This imitation vanilla essence is a good substitute for the real stuff and hols up well in most baking that requires it. Sometimes i think the non imitation is essential though as it has a more depth of flavour.
the queen essences vanilla imitation is a must have pantry item i used it in baking cakes,waffles ,pancakes,biscuits ect it gives a nice rich flavour and depht
Queens Vanilla Essence has been around for many years and has never lost the same old times taste. I use Queens Vanilla Essence in a lot of my foods,especially cakes muffins and I especially love to wipe my fridge out with it as it leaves a fresh sweet smell.
Look in my pantry and this Vanilla Essence is there. Use it in cooking, drinks and cleaning. Is great putting a couple of drops in a bowl of water, when cleaning the fridge and wipe the fridge out with it…..Leaves a refreshing clean scent.
Queen Essences Vanilla Imitation is an economical alternative to vanilla extract. The flavour is sensational and it is always good to have in the pantry. It gives cakes and biscuits a lovely smell and taste and I highly recommend it.
I grew up smelling this and always wanting to taste it and one day I did… don’t if you get the chance. A swig is not a good idea and does not go down as well as the smell. Makes all my cooked goodies and treats taste just amazing though.
I use this imitation vanilla essence by Queens in my recipes all of the time. It is perfect for so many of my baking recipes. Adds a terrific taste to these recipes. A staple in our pantry.
I can’t remember a time when we haven’t had this in our panty!! Although it’s imitation, it works brilliantly at adding a subtle and pleasant vanilla flavour and for a fraction of the price!
I always have this product in the pantry. It is from a reputable company and it works well. It is handy for my cooking and brings a vanilla taste even though it is imitation. Definitely recommend.
Queen Immitation Vanilla Essence (label on the bottle) is suitable for a lot of cooking – cakes, slices, biscuits; homemade icecream, whipped cream. It has been around for several decades. My Mum has a recipe which belonged to her grandparents in which recipes were written in the 1950s or cuttings glued in.
This queen imitation vanilla essence is great quality and very budget friendly for the size of bottle your getting. It’s perfect in cakes and when I make my choc ripple cake.
This product is always in my pantry. It tastes really great in cakes and keeps really well. The smell of it brings back memories of my gran baking so lots of good memories. This is the only brand I buy.
