It's not vanilla extract - not at that price. It's vanilla aroma made in a factory from chemicals.
However, the chemicals in the aroma are the same as the naturally occuring ones in the vanilla pods.
It's vanilla extract in a sugar water base. That is why the bottle is so large. It's sweet and syrupy, so you can use it on deserts or in drinks straight out of the bottle. But it works fine in recipes. It's sort of like a liquid version of the vanilla sugar here.
