Badia Vanilla Extract Imitation Dominican Style, 16 oz

Dominican-style imitation vanilla extract brings the bold, rum-edged sweetness that Caribbean and Latin bakers expect in flan, bizcocho, and tres leches. The 16 oz size keeps a steady-baking household supplied through birthdays, holidays, and Sunday cakes.

Common Uses

Add to bizcocho dominicano, tres leches, flan, and arroz con leche. Pour into coquito, morir soñando, and batidas de frutas. Whisk into pound cakes, quesitos, buttercream, and pastry cream. A splash transforms cafecito, hot chocolate, and oatmeal.

Cuisine Context

In Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban kitchens, vanilla in this style is the aromatic backbone of celebration baking — the smell of a quinceañera cake cooling on the counter or coquito mixed for Nochebuena. It holds its character against butter, sugar, and condensed milk in ways subtler extracts cannot.

Pro Tip

For flan, add the vanilla after the custard cools slightly off the stove rather than during the cook — heat strips volatile aromatics, and stirring it in warm preserves the perfume that defines a great flan.
