About Synthetic vanilla extract

Synthetic vanilla extract is a vanilla-flavoured liquid made with flavouring compounds rather than relying solely on vanilla beans. It is used in baking, desserts, and sweet sauces where a vanilla aroma is wanted.

It is typically a pourable, brown or clear liquid, depending on its formulation, with a sweet vanilla-like aroma and flavour. Products sold under this general description can differ in their flavouring ingredients, colour, and carrier; it is not interchangeable with an extract made only from vanilla beans.
