McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract 16 fl oz — Madagascar beans, No Corn Syrup, Gluten Free

McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract is a full-strength, gluten-free vanilla made from Madagascar beans, bottled in a large 16 fl oz size without any added corn syrup.

Bring consistent, familiar vanilla flavor to cakes, cookies, pancakes, frostings and even savory recipes with a single bottle designed for frequent use. McCormick’s Pure Vanilla Extract emphasizes a rich, warm sweetness with floral top notes and subtle bourbon and dried-fruit undertones that layer into baked goods and confections. This 16 fl oz jar is intended for home cooks who bake often or for households that prefer to keep a larger supply on hand.

How will McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract change my baking?

Using a pure vanilla extract rather than an imitation flavor gives baked goods a more complex and rounded aroma. The natural bean-derived extract melds with butter and sugar, enhancing caramelization and perceived sweetness without extra sugar. It’s especially useful in recipes where vanilla is a prominent flavor.

• Enhances aroma and depth in cakes, cookies, custards and frostings
• Complements dairy and egg-based batters for a fuller taste profile
• Helps balance acidity and brings out caramelized notes during baking

Is this vanilla extract suitable for people with dietary restrictions?

Yes — McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract contains no corn syrup and is labeled gluten free, which makes it a safe choice for people avoiding those ingredients. It’s pure vanilla extract, so it should fit into many common dietary needs; always check ingredient labels if you have severe allergies or specific dietary requirements.

• No corn syrup added — made from distilled vanilla beans
• Gluten free — suitable for gluten-restricted diets
• Pure extract format avoids fillers found in some imitation vanillas

How much should I use and how long does a 16 fl oz bottle last?

Vanilla extract is potent; most recipes call for one to two teaspoons, so a 16 fl oz bottle will last a long time in a home kitchen. How quickly it’s used depends on your baking frequency, but this larger size reduces the need for frequent repurchasing and is practical for households that bake in batches or seasonally.

• Typical recipe amount: 1–2 teaspoons per standard batch
• 16 fl oz provides many dozens of recipe uses for home bakers
• Store in a cool, dark place to maintain optimum flavor over time
