Is the 10lb batch the old Gourmet Vanilla flavor, or the new? I'd like to buy it if it's the old.

I'd do the same. I don't know if it's the old flavor since I purchased the 5lbs container (which I had to stop taking, because it was disgusting).

I don't know, as I purchased the 5lb jug. It may be just an old standard photo for the product.

I think it's new. I never had the old, but this one said new, improved flavor....it's not very good.

I personally didn't know the formula changed. I subscribe to it maybe every 3 months or so. And had a doubled up order awhile back. And so I haven't gotten a new one yet. Maybe that'll be obvious? If the "flavor" is off or it gets the white crustyness I'll have to look

All I can tell you is that I owned a restaurant and we'd order a case at a time (from a different online supplier, but the exact same product). When we closed the restaurant, I still had about 1/2 bottle left. That was over 3 years ago. I just about ran out and went searching on the internet for the same brand because I like it so much. Since I no longer have the restaurant, I didn't want to order a whole case. I still have about 2 tsp. left of the original leftover bottle and it's still delicious in recipes. Better than any other vanilla I've tried.

Yes, I ordered one 2 months ago and it was the new improved flavor! Gourmet chocolate

Sorry, I can't help here. I bought this brand last year and the packages I got were old and driued out, so I have shied away from it. I really liked it when I could get it locally and it was fresh.

I have only used the Ultra Nourishing. But on the Wen page the only one they sell now is the Ultra one. Maybe the new version?

I also ordered this supplement several times previously. The last bottle said vegetarian flavor and it was very nasty. I stopped using it. Please bring back the original flavor. The new flavor is not good.

I would check to make sure it's not spoiled or out of date? It shouldn't taste sour?

Shouldn't smell bad. A slight vanilla smell and earthy. Is there a date on the jar ?

You can go to Rodelle's website and read about their different Vanillas. They give a detailed description of the Gourmet Vanilla.

The ingredients say "Natural flavor (vanilla). Please, read the INGREDIENTS.

I can't recall that it was a vanilla flavor as it has been awhile. The flavor was good but it has a gritty consistency.

The vanilla I just received was good until 2015. I go through about 1 container a month. I only use 1 scoop (not 2) and have 7 days a week. Hope this helps

It is a vanilla flavor. But, not over powering. More of a butter cream is how I would put it. I personally love them.

Yes. I was surprised. I live in New Mexico where it use to be sold but no longer is. My daughter suggested I look on the internet and thankfully I found it. I was skeptical until I got it, but, yes, its the real vanilla.

I also have had this experience. I have been buying this for years from Amazon and a local organic grocer. I agree that both the smell and taste is awful and I am considering changing brands. Even returned one because I thought something was wrong with it, but the replacement is the same. I would love to know what has been altered. I have a fairly high tolerance, but this is really bad.

I have ordered Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans from both places. They are so similar almost identical.
