What is the difference in the dark vanilla and the clear vanilla?

Depth of flavor. It's kind of like comparing raw sugar to white sugar. I use nothing but Molina!

as far as I know, the clear is imitation vanilla. The vanilla bean naturally makes the vanilla dark brownish in color.

Clear vanilla is better when used in white or light colored items such as frosting. That way it doesn't tint it a dark color. Otherwise, they are the same!

I was not aware that Molina made a clear vanilla, but I once purchased some in another brand (maybe Puerto Rican) and I did not like it, plus I think it was artificial flavor. I plan to make my own vanilla extract as soon a I purchase a bottle of gluten free vodka. But until then, I do enjoy the dark Molina Vanilla.

Clear Vanilla has no added coloring. We have grown so accustomed to the brown color from imitation vanilla that they have added caramel coloring (made from molasses) to the darker versions of Mexican Vanilla. The darker version is by far the best seller too!

the alcojo;-ones made with rum the other vodka both are good alot of people also use the clear vecause they dont want any varuent in the shade of the final product . to me it doesnt matter its so minute just dont get any that has the crushed vanilla veans or your cookies will be speckled (not too appealing)

I'm not really sure. I bought clear in Puerto Rico last year. It seems lighter in flavor. I like this Mexican blend the best. It's full of flavor and makes my baked goods delcious! Everyone comments on the good vanilla taste.

It is the same that is seasonally available at Williams Sonoma, and it has always had vanilla in it. I have used it for twenty years.

Amazon requested that I answer your question. Unfortunately I do not know. There are differences in chemical composition, but that doesn't mean much to me. I just follow other purchasers' evaluations in this matter. You might Google "day cream, night cream reviews".

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

It depends on what flavor you want and what you are making.This is a guide that will helphttp://www.vanillagarlic.com/2007/06/know-your-vanilla-guide-to-vanilla.html?m=1

I prefer vanilla. Simply because it's the easiest (semi-neutral) flavor to blend in a variety of fruits, nuts or additives to enhance the taste.

I don't know. However, I am on my 2nd bottle, and love the flavor of this brand. I use the clear, and will soon be ordering bottle #3!

It's like the difference between milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Both varieties still require the addition of a sweetner depending on whether you are baking with them or making a cocoa drink.

Vanilla is an expensive product (it's the world's most labor-intensive crop) so most people buy the cheapest chemical-based "Natural" "Flavoring" vanilla they can find. If you want to stay away from additives and harmful preservatives, choose your vanilla wisely. Go for Pure, Healthy, and 100% REAL vanilla, you really will notice a difference in the flavor. :)

I have used both. Main difference is cleanup. Only the base is glazed on mine. There seems to be plenty of moisture .(I soak both parts)Since you use no soap, glazed is much easier to clean anything sticking. Never had a problem with flavor retention, even with the unglazed. Absolutely love mine.

The color is more dark chocolate not black pretty much all over. I absolutely love mine.

Sorry, can't answer this myself. I purchased the color vanilla sugar only from Bare Essentials. If the color of the picture is a brown, stones are brown too, not just grey. So I would guess it would be a brown. Sorry.

Pure vanilla is exactly that: vanilla. It has a smooth taste and a strongly vanilla odor without being confused by other flavors such as alcohol or sugar. The balance of ingredients makes all the difference in which flavor is dominant.

The vanilla and chocolate both have a very subtle flavor, but unless you are going to add fruit, chocolate, etc., I prefer them over the natural.

I believe they are different scents. I smelled several of their scents at a department store and I believe the dark bottle was more of a sport scent and was a bit stronger but still a very nice scent. The light bottle is a very soft subtle scent which both my husband and I love.

Special Dark has cocoa processed with alkali for a more intense flavor and darker color. The Natural is not processed with alkali.

I prefer the vanilla because vanilla is a more versatile flavor, meaning you can make other things with it like protein bars, pancakes, etc. You can always add some form of chocolate to vanilla protein powder. I've tried their chocolate and choc peanut butter and they're both good.
