Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla
Posted in Watkins Business by Eldon on November 13th, 2006 One of Watkins’ most popular cooking products, Original Double Strength Vanilla has been famous for taste and quality since its initial introduction in 1895. Vanilla is perhaps the most popular flavor in the world today, and few can boast a name association with vanilla like Watkins can.
Watkins manufactures its vanilla with the finest quality vanilla beans. These are what is known as the Bourbon variety, and many of them are grown on the island of Madagascar which is just off the coast of Africa. This hard to produce crop is of such high quality that just one bean can retail for $3 or more.
Watkins’ Original Double Strength Vanilla is a proprietary blend of real vanilla extract and rich fortifiers. This results in a tasty, deep flavor that is very economical to use and guarantees superior results in cooking and baking. The formula is bake-proof and freeze-proof. The flavor won’t dissipate when making ice cream or baking foods at high temperature. The formula is also low in alcohol (8.25 percent versus 35 percent found in pure vanilla extract). Vanilla products high in alcohol can suffer loss of flavor under heat.
Here is an interesting demonstration of the quality of Watkins’ Original Double Strength Vanilla that you can try. Take the Watkins vanilla and a competitive brand. Put a drop of the Watkins vanilla on your right index finger, and a drop of the competitive brand on your left. Rub both fingers with your thumbs. Smell. The Watkins product will have a much stronger aroma, while the aroma of the competitive product will be diminished. This is in part because the competitive product contains more alcohol, and is unstable. It loses flavor through evaporation.
Try our Watkins Vanilla - your satisfaction is guaranteed!
