All too often, “vanilla” is considered the default flavor—the boring, mundane choice at the ice cream parlor. In reality, vanilla is a rapturously rich and utterly unique flavor. Sweet, warm, and enchantingly floral, there’s a reason that vanilla is such a ubiquitous inclusion in baked goods and sweet treats—it’s simply very good at making desserts, and even savory dishes, taste better. That’s why, starting now through the end of the holiday season, we’re proud to offer Trader Joe’s Double Fold Vanilla Extract. Using Madagascar-grown vanilla beans (which, like all natural vanilla, are actually the seed pods of a tropical orchid ), our supplier makes each batch with twice the amount of vanilla as a standard strength extract (hence, Double Fold.) They then further fortify it with Vanilla Bean Seeds, resulting in a pleasantly potent Vanilla Extract that provides an impressive pop of vanilla flavor to cakes, pies, cookies, sauces, cocktails, and everything in between.

With its elegantly-styled, long-necked bottle and charming cork stopper, Trader Joe’s Double Fold Vanilla Extract with Vanilla Bean Seeds is an apt and attractive addition to any pantry, and makes an ideal gift for home bakers of all experience levels. Perhaps some stores would be content enough with these estimable aesthetic and culinary qualities, but since this is Trader Joe’s, we’ve gone the additional step of making its value exceptional, too: while supplies last, you can pick up of a bottle of our Double Fold Vanilla Extract for a fraction of the price you’d pay for extracts of similar quality elsewhere.
