How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsLemon extract useful for cooking
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2021
I use this lemon extract to give flavor to baked flour recipes. In combination with erythritol (Truvia) sweetener, it creates a satisfactory flavor. Many baking recipes that include flour also call for adding eggs; for this purpose, I add dry, powdered egg whites, which I mix with the other dry ingredients before proceeding. If I remember correctly, this lemon extract changes the acidity/basicity of liquids that it is added to and tends to coagulate added eggs or liquified egg whites. This can be overcome by mixing all of the other ingredients and then adding the lemon extract as the final step before baking.

1.0 out of 5 starsUggghhh! REALLY REALLY BAD
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018
I REALLY wanted to love this product because there was so much for such a great price. I am a professional custom decorated cookie baker and I rely on my flavors to make a living. To my disappointment this extract is really horrible. It is absolutely no comparison to what the small bottles in your regular grocery store tate or sMell like. I am blessed to have a lemon tree, so know what real good lemons taste and smell like. When you smell a good extract, its that same smell, you just want to put it in some ice water with a bit of sugar and slam it down. There is no feeling at all when you smell or taste this. It tastes synthetic, harsh and not even lemony! And it's really weak too. Ugghh! Oh well, back to tiny, exorbitantly priced extracts from the store. One more thing....Amazon reviews are tricky....all flavors of this extract are combined into the one amount of reviews, so you are led to believe what you are buying is loved by whatever the highest rating is, like 79% here I think. Unless you scroll through dozens and dozens of pages to find the flavor you want to get, you are buying something that is a complete unknown and not represented by all those pretty stars. It may be 99 % 1 star reviews and universally hated by all, but u see the amazing review stars and number if reviewers and get misled. Shame on you Amazon. Caveat emptor.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unexpected use!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020

Great for baking. And an unexpected use! Pour into a shot glass and add a crisp scent to your refrigerator or small bathroom. Also drizzle onto dryer sheets and wipe lightly on furniture or car seats to add crisp, clean fragrance for pennies.

I MAKE MUG CAKES ALL THE TIME, WHEN I USE A WHITE CAKE MIX I MAKE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF CAKE, I PREFER THE LEMON AND ORANGE ONES I GOT. THIS IS A GREAT DEAL, IF YOU GO TO THE STORE AND GET A FLAVOR, ITS A VERY SMALL BOTTLE FOR A BIG PRICE

I use a lot of lemon extract and I could not fine a larger bottle in my grocery stores. This fits the bill!

5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional McCormick Quality at a Discount
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020
Size: 15.99 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Extracts used to cost $1 or $2 a bottle; now, they're $5 or $6 a bottle. And for bakers, that gets expensive. These commercial sizes bring the price back down to what it used to be when i was a kid, and I'm delighted.

For some reason it’s hard to find lemon extract in the stores. Glad you had it and in a nice size.
