I love King Arthur Flour and the Bakers’ Catalogue and recently I received an order from them. I loved the bulk order of Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. I bought a huge bottle of vanilla - 32 ounces for $30. That’s a great deal when you consider you typically buy 8 ounces for $20 in retail stores. I know that I will need lots of vanilla for the cooking season, so I am very pleased with the bulk vanilla. I am also very happy with the flour that I bought - I purchased a 25 lb. bag of all-purpose flour and I am definitely glad I did.
The Guittard chocolate chunks that purchased were a little gray, the taste was fine, but I am sure that the color would bother some. I was a little surprised to receive the chocolate looking like that considering the chocolate I purchase in the grocery store usually looks better than these chunks. They are fine to use, but just a heads up for those of you who like your chocolate to look picture perfect. Sorry the photo isn’t clearer than it is, it’s hard to photograph chocolate.
The price of the order was right - $80 for 2 pounds of chocolate chunks, 32 ounces of vanilla, and 25 pounds of all-purpose flour.
