Traveler353 Posted April 14, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I don't think it really matters, it is about the same price every where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRock59 Posted April 19, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Watch what your buying as some of it may not be processed in the best of ways. I'd buy it in Cozumel at Los Cinco Soles it's where I always buy mine and have never had a problem with it. http://www.loscincosoles.com/mainwelcome.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppeckham Posted August 12, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Where in Cozumel can you buy the clear vanilla? I had bought some at Viva Mexico years ago but didn't find the clear vanilla on the trip a couple weeks ago. The clear is the best for making meringue and white icing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanarch Posted August 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2010 have not seen the clear...I have always bought mine in Progresso...In town at the open market across the street from the market where the bus drops you the Mayan Gold was $5 for a large bottle at a small vendor booth and at the port shops it was $8...In Coz it was usually higher..Same Brand smaller bottle..But I've not been there for a few months. There is a supermarket down the street from the open market & you might look there. for the clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotmonia Posted August 17, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Mexican Vanilla is the BEST!!! The smell of it is intoxicating. I don't bake much but sometimes I will just open the bottle to sniff it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamLawson Posted August 19, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you walk in the opposite direction to the beach (keep the beach behind you) on the main 'drag' in Progreso, you will find the supermarket San Francisco de Asis a few blocks down. You may be able to find your vanilla there and if you do, it will be the best price. No haggling of course, this is a supermarket. Have fun!

I'd buy it in Cozumel at Los Cinco Soles it's where I always buy mine and have never had a problem with it. http://www.loscincosoles.com/mainwelcome.htm I agree, this is the best and actually pure vanilla that is not dilluted with a lot of water and alcohol...I stock up on it and give it as gifts to all of my southern baking family! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted August 25, 2010 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'll be stocking up and gifting next week. The aroma is fantastic when cooking (Fr Toast) or baking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted September 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted September 26, 2010 You will find vanilla all over Progreso and Cozumel-small bottles for around $4.00. I always bring plenty back for souvenirs for friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
