Yes you can. These orders cannot be processed through our website. Please call us or send an email to order. Our telephone number is 800-735-0545.
Declines due to Address Verification System mismatch will lead to a hold on the authorized funds. The funds will remain on the customer's card until the card issuing bank removes the authorization. As a result, the held funds may be subtracted from the customer's available balance, and an online statement may reflect the authorization request which might be mistaken for an actual charge. Most card issuing banks will remove authorizations within 3-7 days if they are not claimed for settlement.
In most cases, orders are declined due to a mismatch of address, zip code, or security code. These all must be correct and must match that which the credit card company has on file.

By law we are required to have 13 1/3 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon of vanilla. (So if you have a 2x, 3x or 4x then you multiply that number by 13 1/3 and that’s how many beans to that gallon) (EX: 13 1/3 X 2)
These are the two species of vanilla bean used by Cook's. The Bourbon bean, also called the Madagascar bean, has a traditional, full, rich flavor. The Tahitian bean has a more floral flavor profile. The names of each speak to the places where each type was historically grown.
Terpeneless comes from the word Terpenes which are a natural waxy compound found in the peel of a citrus such as lemon or orange. When pressed the oil of the citrus contain these Terpenes which can cause the oil to turn rancid or terpeney. We remove these Terpenes so there is no rancidity problem and they have a higher quality of flavor and longer shelf life.

We would like to take a moment to explain our shipping prices to you. We do not bump up our shipping prices. We do not charge handling fees. We charge our customers only what we are charged by UPS and by the United States Postal Service. It is unfortunate for all that shipping is costly. It does affect our business in that the cost of our items are relatively low, but the weight of them is relatively high. An 8 ounce bottle of extract weighs one pound, including the box and packaging material.
We are sorry for any possible frustration shipping charges may cause, and hope that now you can better understand the challenges we face when shipping our products.
Pure vanilla extracts are required by law to contain at least 35% alcohol and at least 13.35 ounces of vanilla bean per gallon. There must be no additional ingredients to the alcohol and what comes directly from the beans. For instance, Pure vanilla extracts must not be spiked with extra vanillin.
Natural extracts contain all natural ingredients. There is no formal definition of a "natural" food in the USDA.
Organic extracts are Pure extracts whose ingredients have all been certified by CCOF and USDA as organic.
All of Cook's Organic extracts are also Pure, and all of Cook's Pure extracts are also Natural.
