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.

The vanilla is good but the vanilla taste is very mild to me (not a deal breaker since I would reorder it again). I always add an extra splash of vanilla with a little cinnamon to enhance it. I also have a chocolate raspberry (unopened) since I didn't want to have two open containers - I will open it when done with the vanilla. Haven't tried the cookies flavor.

i didn't realize they changed their formula. if it's true that it's back to their original product, i'd give it another chance. i suppose the organic natural grocery stores might have something similar but i haven't shopped there recently. try the vanilla, it's my favorite.

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

It looks like maybe it has been discontinued. I hope not - it is the best stuff. I hope that the manufacturer reconsiders. It could be priced higher than it has been since it last so long, but the current price has gone sky high. May be the last time it is available, except a vintage tin on ebay. I don't want it as a nostolgia item, I want to keep using it.

Zane, I'm sorry to say...but, unless this is old perfume (like over a year old), it is not the old version. Being an Opium junkie for almost 30 years now, I can honestly tell you that I am heartbroken over the "new recipe". I'm not sure, but the so called new formula for this scent was in direct response to import laws imposed by the Uncle Sam a couple of years ago...so there might be a chance of getting the old formula from the Paris site...but I'm not sure they will ship it here, to the U.S. Hope this helps! And, if you find a way to get the original scent, PLEASE let me know so I can get a bottle.

I don't think it's the same, I ordered and got the same as you, but the first time I ordered I got extra Virginand I like it and the smell and taste so much better,it costs more but I feel like it's worth it.Hope this helps.

The one I received says "new improved taste", that is the one that they are shipping now.

The shipment of this same flavor was fine the previous month. I had never experienced a problem before this batch. So, yes, it was a recent change. I did not notice the smell. It was the consistency that was the cause for my concern. I hope this answered your question.

I noticed these too. Not in the natural flavor powder. I have seen these little flecks in all of the vanilla flavored powder that I have ordered. Not sure what they are, but the vanilla is MUCH BETTER TASTING than the natural flavor so I am sticking with the vanilla.

Something changed. Not just the top is different. The original had a great aroma and taste. This new version is average at best. Not my favorite from here on.

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

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 its true ... i really liked my first jar ... the way it went on and the way it made my skin look ... this version seems to be heavier ... i liked the original better ... unless they own up to their mistake by the time this jar is empty because i am still going to use it ... i will look for another cream

Blondie, Our vanilla should be fragrant. It is also fresh ground just before shipping to Amazon so the batch shouldn't be old. Please send us an email with your Amazon order ID to service@terrasoul.com and we can process a refund for you if you're not satisfied with your purchase. Best Regards,

Well Sandra, I think it is original (I didn't know about a new version) because it smells the same to me. Wish they hadn't changed the bottle design though.

I'm not sure, it does say "New Improved Taste" on the label which would lead me to believe it is unfortunately. Though compared to the Iso100 flavor, this is much richer
