Does one contain alcohol and the other doesn't or is it something else?
I know that vanilla extract is made from soaking the vanilla bean in alcohol and then when the alcohol is flavored by the vanilla it is packaged and sold as extract? I am looking for something without alcohol involved in the process.

Answers:
Vanilla Extract is a combination of Water, Alcohol, and Vanilla bean extracts. Pure Vanilla Flavoring is a combination of Water, Glycerin, and Vanilla bean Extract. The only difference is the alcohol. That is why when you open a bottle of alcohol based Vanilla extract you get a strong vanilla aroma. Alcohol evaporates quickly when exposed to air and so you will smell a strong aroma. The glycerin base holds the vanilla extract until you use it. The flavoring quality is the same.

Other Answers:
yes your right, the extract is made by boiling the beans in alcohol where the pure vanilla is painstakeingly squeazed from the beans.

Edit:
Note that if your cooking it the alcohol will evaporate anyways

about 20 bucks a bottle
