La Vencedora is the best brand. Mexican vanilla is water-based, rather than alcohol-based, so it doesn't cook out like American vanilla does. I've used it for 40 years and wouldn't use anything else. It doesn't taste different, unless you mean better. :)

Also, I keep a tall, skinny glass container with sugar with a couple of vanilla beans in it. That way I always have vanilla sugar handy. The vanilla beans last a long time, so you can just replace the sugar as needed.

My mom's favorite! If you can get your hands on it, go for it.

Love it. Buy it when I have a source to get it. It is sold in liquor stores in Mexico (or was). My oldest daughter tries to steal all I have. The younger DD can't stand it. Go figure.

Love Love Penzey's spices !! I go there whenever we go to Denver and I stock up on Spices !! Love their stuff ...

I have used it. Don't like the flavor at all. Mine came from Mexico from a friend. They sell it at the liquor stores. It has an odd taste to me, but thats just me. I used it just like the US vanilla. At least I did. Good luck and hope you like it.

That's how I feel. My 3rd DD brought some home from the Dominican Republic and it had the same weird taste. I gave it to my oldest DD.

Be careful, it's strong don't use too much
