We are pleased to share the following comments from the home cooks across the country that participated in the test.

"I just wanted to let you know that I have tried your vanilla product and I love it. I am a member of The Cooking Club of America and I participated in the testing of Singing Dog Vanilla. I love it! When I opened the box it smelled like heaven!!!!! It makes everything wonderfully tasting!"
Melissa Christman, Sellersville PA

“Excellent quality and taste. Superior to all other brands I have tried. The vanilla beans were superb. I will never again use any other brand.”
- G. Dealba

“The cheesecake recipe is the best I have ever made. The vanilla gave it such a smooth taste, accenting the cream cheese and the richness of the cream. I compared the smell and flavor to my normal brand and I prefer this one hands down. Everything about it was pure quality and I couldn’t get over the size of the beans! These were at least a 1/3 bigger than others available.”
- Miss Elaine Cassell

“Not only did I test this product with the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake (recipe), but against two other vanilla extracts. The very best of course is the beans. I compared Watkin’s double strength and Spice Islands brands and found Singing Dog Vanilla the better of both….and I’ve used Watkin’s for 30 years. I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys great aroma and flavor.”
- Laureen Bond

“This was a better tasting vanilla extract than the one I normally use. I found it to be mild in taste and not so sharp with alcohol. I am diabetic and I like the no-added sugar. The cheesecake recipe I used turned out better tasting than the other cheesecake that I used my usual vanilla extract. I enjoyed the good full body flavor of the vanilla beans.”
- Mr. Bob Badolato

“I made two cheesecakes, one using the Singing Dog Vanilla and one using vanilla I purchased at the grocery store. The overall difference was HUGE! My family, friends, and myself finished off the Singing Dog Vanilla cheesecake and nobody really wanted the one made with grocery store vanilla! I’ll buy Singing Dog Vanilla now! Great product! Thanks!!”
- Barb Mallalieu

“This is a wonderful product. I totally love the flavor and the fact that no preservatives or pesticides are used is a very good reason I purchase this product. My entire family loved the vanilla sugar from the beans. My husband uses this sugar in his coffee and enjoys it a lot. The cheesecake was excellent.”
- Christina Ponceruan

“The first thing I noticed was the incredible intoxicating scent of vanilla! This is perfection.”
- Vincent Maguire

“I used it in my favorite pound cake recipe and the flavor was far better than using an imitation extract. I also scraped the seed from the bean pods into the batter. It was my first time using fresh vanilla beans. I really enjoyed the extra flavor they added to my pound cake.”
- Theresa Osborne

“Upon receiving the vanilla, I decided to make crème brulee with the vanilla bean and I made vanilla ice cream from the extract. Both dishes came out great! I usually buy store brand vanilla and I have to say this by far has the best true vanilla taste. I have purchased vanilla beans in the past and they were very dry & hard to cut. Singing Dog Vanilla beans were very soft, easy to cut.”
- Amanda Knorr

“I was very excited when the Singing Dog Vanilla extract & beans arrived with the cheesecake and sugar cookie recipes. I had planned on baking both a cheesecake and sugar cookies that day! The extract is wonderful! It is the best tasting vanilla flavor. It is not too strongbut gives you the purest vanilla flavor and smell. Using the beans was new to me, but I loved them & will purchase both again in the future!”
- Jill Marlow

“I especially enjoyed the strong smooth taste of the vanilla and the freshness of the vanilla beans.”
- Donna Davis
