I should never have taken that for granted thanks for the bone and sorry for any offended.

This country is called The Dominican Republic, a Dominican is a person that lives here, as in the USA a native is called an American, dont worry about MF his croak is worse than his bite

Good vanilla pods (Bourbon) are very expensive and its extract as well.

What ever it is its alot better than the imitation or real vanillia I buy here. Its cheaper and better tasteing than what I can get ahold of at home. We went to a agruculture fair in Santa Domingo which was really huge we saw a couple booths that showed how the pods where made into vanilla and it also showed the region it was grown in. It was some time ago and I dont remember where. I wouldnt think it was all a show for tourists because there were not many tourist there mostly farmers. But who knows?????????

I agree with you. Vanilla extract, the real kind, is very expensive. And very strong. I would be surprised if there is vanilla at all in those bottles of Dominican 'vanilla'.

I would really like to know whether and if so where vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is grown locally.
Of course there is a lesser quality vanilla plant which is used in the perfume industry.

I consider it the best and it is the only I have tasted from the Island ! any others out there as good?

Vainilla from Industrias Doncel is very good. On my last trip I bought Quisqueya Vanilla and it was about the same. I love to bake and always use Vainilla from the Republica Dominicana. Friends of mine who don't bake love to get gifts of deserts made this and I always bring back two 32 oz. (one litre) bottles to share with others who like to bake. Candice

For the most part, it's actually a substance called cumarin, which is derived from other spices, plants and/or fruits.

If you just read the label, or even taste that stuff, you'll immediately realize it couldn't possibly be real vanilla. But as well, the label clearly says "color and flavor" (colorantes y sabores) and the "ext." almost certainly means an "extract"---but from what is a good question!

I have but real vanilla in the Placita i nSnatiago, not an extract but the actual bainita, the one where you have to scrape the dark seeds from the bainita. Not that expensive I got like 5 long beans(or what ever is the actual name for that for like 50 pesos. Was making un flan. In the states(USA) you can get DR type of vanilla extract from productos cibao in NYC. or just walk to a any bodega in the NYC metro area and you will find lots of DR products.
