Unless I'm making a sourdough loaf or some type of savory bread, I can't think of a baking project that doesn't involve vanilla extract or vanilla beans. It's one of those quintessential ingredients that just adds another layer of flavor to a dessert, whether you're making cakes, cookies or brownies. But here's the interesting thing: not all vanilla is the same.
Vanilla sourced from different countries each has its own unique distinctions. And while you might need to have a very discerning palate to tell the difference once its mixed into batter or dough, the type you use really does play a role in the finished product.

Right now Costco is selling the Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract Around the World Gift Pack which features four different vanillas from around the globe. There's Madagascar Bourbon, Mexican, Ugandan and Papa New Guinea. Each is packaged in a 2-ounce bottle and the entire set is $39.99. I can't even begin to get over what a great deal this is, especially considering a 3-pack of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extracts is $52.99 at Williams Sonoma.
Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract Around the World Gift Pack, $39.99 at Costco
This gift set is such a treat for any baker in your life. Vanilla extract can be really expensive, and Nielsen-Massey offers a great quality product. Truthfully, even if you don't bake a ton yourself, it's worth picking up a set to keep in your own pantry because vanilla extract doesn't ever really go bad. It may start to lose its flavor over time, but it's safe to use for years and years.

Like I mentioned earlier, each variety of vanilla has its own personality, shaped by where it's grown. Mexican Pure Vanilla is rich and a little spicy-sweet. It's the one you reach for when baking with chocolate, citrus or anything you want to lend a warm, cozy spice to. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is the classic as its smooth, creamy and versatile. It's the go-to for cookies, cakes, and pretty much anything that needs that familiar, sweet aroma. Meanwhile Ugandan Vanilla packs more depth, with bold, full-bodied notes that pair beautifully with caramel, coffee or even a hint of chili. And then there's Papua New Guinea Vanilla which is floral, fruity, and delicate. It shines in cold treats like ice cream or whipped cream, where its subtlety can really stand out.
Together, these vanillas show just how nuanced "vanilla" can be, each one a little different, but all delicious in their own way.
