Amazon FreshPure Almond Extract, 2 Fl Oz (Previously Happy Belly, Packaging May Vary)

I have an entire cabinet full of extracts and flavorings, but this was the first time I'd tried the "Amazon" brand. I'll admit, I thought the Amazon brand was going to be "Inferior". Since all my others are either Name Brands or very good Small Companies, I thought I'd be taking a chance. Amazon, of course like Walmart and the grocery chains, doesn't make their own product lines, they are made by other companies. So, you don't know the quality you're getting. Some things are good & some not so good. This happens to be one of the better products. It is a good price and I would compare it to the major brands. I suspect a major brand manufactures it.Now, that that's over, let me tell you a way this can really help your cookies. When making my Chinese Almond Cookies (or any type of Almond Cookie), the flavor is really enhance by using 1 tsp. of this in the mixture. I also have found in Almond Cookies and Bars, the Best Flavor and Texture comes from using 1/2 finely ground ALMOND FLOUR & 1/2 ALMOND MEAL. All the recipes usually say to use Almond Flour, but try using half & half and see the difference. The blanched Almond Flour has a nice smooth sweet taste, but the coarser Almond Meal adds another depth to the baking and a little bit more of a nutty taste.I'm always experimenting on recipes. My Almond Cookies now taste PERFECT! It's always been traditional to put an almond in the center of your almond cookies. Call me a Rebel, but I put 3 on a cookie, in a fan pattern. Can never have too much almonds. Then, if I'm really feeling adventurous, I'll dip half the cookie in melted sugar free chocolate chips & sprinkle broken almonds over the chocolate.I recommend this almond extract for desserts, pastries and sauces. Thank you for reading my review.

Was perfect for my flan recipes. Yummy

Mmmmm ... the scent of almond extract is delightful! I have been using this to make body oils/lotions using carrier oils ... and then adding this Almond Extract (the scent replicates a highly popular French named product). A little of the extract goes a long way when you are using it for this purpose (scenting body oils and lotions). I will 100% be repurchasing, as it is addictive!

I made almond honey cornbread muffins with this and they were all eaten in 5 min... so I would say this was a quality ingredient. Will buy this again.

This Pure Almond Extract is fantastic and its price can't be beat. The flavor is rich, natural, and adds the perfect almond aroma to my baked goods. Just a small amount goes a long way, and it blends beautifully into cookies, cakes, and even homemade marzipan. The quality is excellent, and I love that it’s pure without any artificial aftertaste. The 2 fl oz bottle is the perfect size—enough to last a while but still fresh. If you love baking, this is a must-have ingredient! would buy again .

Excellent Quality and an amazing deal. Shipping was a little slow, but overall, this product is amazing and the price is spot on.

Very nice, fragrant almond extract, with a good flavor. Definitely recommend!

Just like the big, expensive brand names. It smells wonderful and it has made a wonderful item for coffee drinks! Well sealed upon arrival.
