McCORMICK Ube Flavor Extract 20ml (Purple Yum)

Great color and flavor.

It did arrive leaking a bit but it wasn't a lot. Looking past that everything was fine. I was able to make delicious Ube cookies. It got on my fingers and turned them purple but after a few hand washings, it was gone. I got some on my white countertop, and it came off fine if you clean immediately.

It's leaking even though it has a seal and plastic bubble covering. Haven't used it for baking.

I dont know if there's something wrong with the Butterfly brand or if i got a bad batch, but I made some ube doughnuts with that brand and thr ube flavor wasnt that strong, but when I used it to make a glaze, it was EXTREMELY bitter. I essentially had to do away with it and bought this to try to see if this was any better. In my opinion, the flavor is stronger and the taste isnt as bitter, but its extremely small and far more expensive for the size. A whole bottle did get me one batch of donuts, a batch of glaze and some ube brownies. The ube flavor is still a bit light for my liking but it is there, and I dont like that it uses artificial coloring, but I know its hard to get that pretty deep purple without it since, reading up on the Philipines and ube, even Filipinos are having a hard time being able to get ahold of actual ube to the point where a lot have never actually tasted it, and many dont know that there is ube with a deep color. Sending prayers to my Filipino sisters and brothers that they can reclaim their own yam again and won't be stuck with cheap imitations. But this does get the job done. Hopefully I can find it somewhere cheaper!!

Having a deep appreciation for the unique taste of ube, I was excited to incorporate this ube flavoring into my desserts. Regrettably, my enthusiasm was met with a series of disappointments. Inadequate Shipping and Handling: The initial issue was the shipping. The delivery took far longer than advertised, frustratingly arriving several weeks late. When the package did show up, it was in a pitiful state - severely dented and partly open, which was disheartening to see. Subpar Quality and Presentation: Unboxing further escalated my concerns. The bottle of ube flavoring was a far cry from its advertised image. It looked cheap and was not sealed properly, raising immediate doubts about its quality and the care taken in its production. It's challenging to trust a flavoring product when even the basic packaging standards aren't met. Flavor Far From Authentic: However, the most crucial disappointment was the flavor itself. Genuine ube has a distinctive, sweet, and earthy depth, but this product's taste was far from it. It had an overwhelmingly artificial, almost chemical-like sweetness, missing the natural, creamy essence of real ube. My attempts to use it in various recipes only led to an unpalatable, synthetic aftertaste, rather than enhancing the dishes with the desired ube flavor. Final Verdict: All in all, from the problematic and delayed shipping to the poor presentation and deeply unsatisfying artificial taste, this ube flavoring was a complete letdown. It failed to deliver the authentic and delightful ube experience I had hoped for. I regret this purchase and caution others against this product. It's a stark reminder that not all flavorings are created equal.

This McCormick ube extract makes the best ube lattes. The flavor, color, and the aroma are perfect and a little goes a long way. It’s great for baking an Ube cheesecake as well as making cookies.

Nice color and good value. Bakes well in pancakes. Good taste and smell. You just need a little bit. It goes a long way.

I don't know what happened with people getting a clear, obviously fake version of this extract but I read an article about Amazon's commingled inventory that might explain that (Google it). I very much got a legit version of the extract. I used it to make a small keto cheesecake (six inch diameter) and it took half the bottle. Keep it mind because it was a low carb cheesecake I could not use ube powder with the extract, which is starchy, and would probably have rounded out the flavor well. I'm pretty sure that's what most ube desserts do but I've never made one, I'm not Filipino, so this isn't a very informed opinion except that I love ube stuff. That being said, I found the flavor pretty good even relying purely on the extract. And my GOD the color is beautiful. The color was screamingly vibrant when I had only used *half* what I ended up using. I will definitely get this stuff again, but I think it would take a full bottle for a normal sized dessert so that's fairly expensive.

Finally available on Amazon, now my Ube bakes have the perfect taste and color!

Amazing flavour

Very happy with my purchase
