I am NOT talking about those Giant Bottles you see everywhere up and down Rev, I mean the REAL stuff.
It's out there in small quantites and I would like to get some but I have no idea where.
It should come in small bottles if it's the REAL thing.
Thanks

Biglou what is the stuff sold on Revo? Diluted vanilla or imitation?

Molina was the good stuff.. whatever happened to it? My mother would get big 500ml jars of that stuff when I was a kid!

Not imitation - Molina was the real thing, although of inferior quality.

Vanilla is processed in various different ways and derived from various sources...(internet)
Real Vanilla is Amber in color not dark or molasses looking.
I can't explain it any better than that and I was very surprised to find that out via the internet.
Do a search and you will find out how and why.
Mexican Vanilla is considered to be the BEST but the REAL stuff is hard to come by.
Spain comes in second and they got the recipe from the Mexicans and refined it.
The US doesn't allow the import of certain Vanilla's from Mexico or Spain due to the processing and a certain chemical that is or was used at times that is now banned in the U.S.

My grandmother used to make french toast with vanilla from Spain. The bottles looked very Generic looking with just paper label. It was very strong but delicious!!
