This extract is very concentrated, so a little goes a long way. For best results, use half the amount of vanilla extract required in your recipe. For example, if your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, use only half a teaspoon of our double strength Madagascar vanilla extract. If you're a vanilla lover like us, you might wish to use more, and that's perfectly okay too. Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and light.
This vanilla extract comes in sizes ranging from 2-ounce, 4-ounce, 8-ounce, 16-ounce, and 32-ounce amber glass bottles with screw-on caps, up to one-gallon, BPA-free, food-grade jugs for larger orders. The amber glass not only looks great in your pantry, it also helps protect the extract from light, which can cause it to lose flavor over time. We offer fast, reliable shipping to ensure your vanilla extract arrives in perfect condition.
Built for Commercial and High-Volume Baking
Double fold vanilla extract isn't just for the home baker looking to stretch a bottle further, it's a genuine cost and efficiency advantage for bakeries, restaurants, and food manufacturers using vanilla extract in volume. Because you only need half the amount per recipe, a gallon of double fold extract effectively goes twice as far as a gallon of standard single-fold extract, meaning fewer reorders, less storage space needed, and a lower effective cost per batch over time. For commercial kitchens that go through vanilla extract quickly, that difference adds up fast. Available in bulk, food-grade gallon jugs, this is the same trusted Madagascar vanilla flavor, just formulated to keep pace with high-volume production.
Frequently Asked Questions
- To make 2x double-strength Madagascar vanilla extract, a minimum of twice the amount of vanilla beans must be used. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for every gallon of vanilla extract, 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans are required to make a single-fold vanilla extract. For double-fold extract, at least two times this amount (or 26.7 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon) must be used. The FDA requires that the name of the food include the designation “2-fold” to indicate the higher concentration of vanilla.
