Marlo Scott of Sweet Revenge (NYC), on Martha Stewart (unpaid endorsement – between 4:10-4:55)
“When I was little and we took family vacations to Mexico, my mom would always buy the largest bottle of pure Mexican vanilla she could find. Joan is not a stingy lady, but she’d lock that bottle up tight in a cabinet, safe from the sun’s taste-altering rays, and swore us all to the one rule of her kitchen: Mom’s special vanilla is only for pound cakes. She measured it carefully, never wasting a drop. That’s probably why, when I saw the Mexican Vanilla showcase at the 2008 Gourmet Housewares show in Las Vegas, my first instinct was to hoard. Once I realized that the precious Mexican vanilla was now available for sale in the U.S., I relaxed my grip on the bottle and starting tasting the samples provided by Blue Cattle Truck, the maker of the fine ingredient.
Just as I remembered, the Mexican vanilla added a smooth richness to the portioned samples of pound cake, making the classic recipe pop with flavor. What’s more, because none of them had grown up under the ‘Pound Cakes Only’ rule, they’d added the vanilla to a variety of cookies. Maybe it was the wonderfully intoxicating smell of vanilla wafting around me as I sampled to my heart’s content, but I don’t know if I’ve ever had a better chocolate chip cookie. I may have to swing back by the booth for one more taste to make sure…”

“I have to add my accolades for this vanilla product. I saw it a couple of years ago in a shop in
Boise, ID and was told if I tried it, I would never buy grocery store vanilla (extract or pure extract) again.
It was pricey so I tried their smallest bottle. When it was about half gone, I returned to buy their largest bottle! It seems to keep its flavor better when used in baking, and you’ll really notice the difference in things that are not cooked for long periods. I use it for everything calling for vanilla.
Try it – I think you’ll also be very glad you did!”
T.F. (Idaho)
“I have loved Mexican Vanilla for years and years. In fact have even been known to go south of the border just to get it. But I have never found anything of this quality in a border town! This is by far the best vanilla I have ever used. I put it in everything: cakes, cookies, pancakes, french toast, even in my bath water! Also, don’t forget Mexican vanilla is great for burns, and to keep mosquitos away (only real mexican vanilla works for that).
This is also perfect for a gift. The packaging is darling, I can’t stand to put it in the cupboard, I just keep it right on the counter. It’s that cute! I’m going to give it to my sisters for Mother’s Day and my grown daughters in their Easter baskets.
Really, trust me on this one – try Blue Cattle Truck Mexican Vanilla, there is not any better.”
Elizabeth T. (Santa Barbara, California)

“I’ve used Blue Cattle Truck Vanilla in the past and think it’s simply the best, but when I went to their website they suggested your website. I love all of the products, use them myself and for gifts. My baked goods are a notch above because of the vanilla. Thanks!”

“Your Mexican vanilla is the best! Vanilla even advertised as “pure” in the grocery store is a waste of money and does not compliment the food at all."
Lisa G. (Flemingsburg, KY)
“I bought some of your vanilla several years ago. And I have bought some other brands more recently. Yours is by far the best!”

“I went searching for a great vanilla and found yours six years ago. We sold it at our little store we have since sold but not before I secured all the vanilla that had not sold. Of course I have used or given away all that I had. Every time I find your VANILLA in a store I get so excited I find myself selling it to everyone in the store. Yesterday I talked four ladies into a medium size then I found the large 16.7 size at another store and talked three more people into the large since the holidays were coming up and I promised they would not be sorry. I have become your roaming sales person. Love,love,……..love, love, love your vanilla.”
