I go through quite a lot of vanilla products, from extract to paste to powder. I typically make my own in-house from vanilla beans but sometimes that isn't realistic with the amount of time it takes. Nielsen Massey is my go-to for commercial vanilla bean paste; it's tasty and convenient— I've known people to eat it with a spoon. One thing I would call out is that it is sweetened, unlike extracts, so be mindful when swapping paste in for extract in recipes.
