I placed my second order in February. The first was completely satisfactory. Unfortunately, and since you insist on knowing if the second delivery was like the first... I will tell you no! I am completely dissatisfied with the 12 cm red bourbon vanilla pods. The pods were delivered very dry. I wanted to test this 'high quality' product and it was not the case, far from it. It is no longer necessary to send me satisfaction requests or sales proposals for your products. I placed my pods in a jar with a bit of alcohol to preserve them well but it does not prevent me from being very disappointed to have chosen this batch at €19.90. The other batch was a mix of fleshy pods and others drier. Thank you for your attention.

Hello, I invite you to read the description of the red vanilla pods and watch my video on the same page: https://www.davidvanille.com/fr/gousses-de-vanille/394-5275-gousses-de-vanille-bourbon-rouge-12cm-m-medaille-d-or.html#/227-quantite-10_gousses For the Wild Vanilla from Papua, most of the pods were much longer than 10cm (size +10cm). Some slightly more refined than others. Best regards, David Vanille

Order not delivered because no message received. The package was returned. I tried several times to contact customer service but it is non-existent. No response and this has been going on since the end of December, to be avoided

Hello, When a customer does not pick up their package despite the various emails and texts, it is true that our customer service is not the same. This creates a significant burden for the company followed by a refund. We have implemented a new system to avoid this type of situation that wastes our precious time. Best regards, The David Vanille team

In itself the products are not too bad, I am on my 3rd order. During my 1st order I took Bourbon vanilla but this one dries like wood almost unusable then I ordered another vanilla in 1kg format arrived on site I weigh and it is missing 10G so 990g instead of 1kg. So everyone will tell me that I am nitpicking but in 3 orders I spent almost 1000€ I expected more to have 1010g than 990g. Sent email to support and tried to contact support but unreachable. For my next order I will surely look elsewhere too disappointed with the nonexistent customer service.

Hello,
No email request received at [email protected] or message on our customer service answering machine.
For the red vanilla, during your first order, we asked you to read the descriptive sheet which clearly explains the difference between a Bourbon Gold vanilla and a Bourbon Red vanilla. The moisture content is in no way a sign of quality in the industry, the vanillin content is much more so. 90% of the vanilla industry is based around Bourbon Red vanilla.
The kg you received was from the +20cm, the rarest of harvests, the over-classification was done by my team. We verify weights before each shipment.
The products are not too bad? 3 orders... Is this a joke?
We sincerely wish you to find people as dedicated as we are to our customers.
Best regards,
The David Vanille team

When an order is put on hold, you need to add a product to validate said order afterwards. This is a weakness of the site that should be corrected. The products are of quality and easy to find.

Order placed on 07/02/2022. This order took 8 days to reach me, receipt date 15/02/2022, it required several phone calls. With correction of the kg of pepper which had turned into 1 kg of brown sugar. I had to cancel my reservations for Corsica twice to receive the package.
For me, the incompetence of order tracking means that this is the last time I will place an order on this site.

Sir,
Error corrected by the team. We asked you if we should send it before your trip or after.
There was also the possibility of sending it directly to Corsica without additional costs.
SHIPPING FREE BY DHL by the team, receipt on Monday.
Talking about incompetence is just nonsense. Anyway... how to react after bending over backwards for a client?

One piece of advice: read carefully because a gift is offered for €69 and in reality, it's offered for €69 excluding tax!

The Bourbon Vanilla variety you sell is of poor quality, For proof, I made a pastry cream (300 mm of milk infused with a whole pod) the taste is almost non-existent? Cream for Baba same.....? For a Pastry companion, I know what good vanilla is without having traveled the world but the Tour de France. Looking forward to your comments.... Awaiting your response

Hello,
You purchased the "Prestige" Split Red Bourbon Vanilla. The pods have been in a trunk for a long time and offer an aromatic precision and a higher vanillin content than most pods you buy elsewhere. See the description of the sheet which is very clear:
The Red Bourbon Vanilla "Gold Medal" or "Prestige" is drier, Why?
The weight of a pod does not determine its quality at all. You weigh as a professional a water content.
At our level, in the importation of vanilla, after years in the industry, here are the most important points:
- Vanillin content (main molecule for purely vanilla notes)
- Associated aromatic amplitude On this batch: Intense bouquet of red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants) Heart Notes: Caramelized intensity, Rose, Vanilla powder.
- Harvest period
- Aging of the batch, respect for the specifications specific to each importer (here, long traditional aging as in the past).
- Nutrients from the soil from which the pods come, indigenous terroir, type of cultivation (shade, agroforestry, intensive...)
- Final result in the creations of our chef and individual clients.
Finally, the vanilla that the industry buys to create vanilla extract is only split or unsplit red vanilla. Like us, it focuses on the quality of the batch and not on the visual. Today, 90% of imports in the agri-food sector remain red vanilla for the quality of its aromatic contents (yet dry but much more intense).
You will need to rethink your view of vanilla and become a novice again to move forward.
Best regards,
David Vanille
