THIS IS vanilla made from vanilla beans from Mexico.  What's different?  True Vanilla beans are a highly prized expensive commodity.  
 
Add to your cooking in pies, tarts, fruit breads like banana bread, zucchini breads, orange rolls, pumpkin spice and for a zingy twist in traditional cakes, cookies and more.
