“A Taste of Home!… professional bakers, confectioners, and happy home chefs can feel confident when using this quality Vanilla product. I consider myself a Vanilla snob. Pure Vanilla Extract is THE only flavoring I will use when baking in my home kitchen. Having paid as much as $9 an ounce, I am relieved to have been introduced to Dolan Flavoring Company’s Autumn Lane Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract… offering a high-quality flavoring product at a more reasonable price point. Autumn Lane Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract exudes a bright warmth, nice depth, and a lovely golden-brown color. Feel confident and be bold! Make the switch to a small-batch extract and support a family-owned business… ***** Five-Star Rating!”
