The price absolutely nothing to say, but the pods are very very dry, hard.
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Julien,

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for your feedback and for your trust. The Bourbon Rouge vanilla is intentionally a dry vanilla: as indicated in the description and visible in the product photos (https://www.davidvanille.com/fr/gousses-de-vanille/429-5493-vanille-bourbon-de-madagascar-m-bourbon-rouge.html), it has a humidity level of 18 to 25%, resulting from prolonged drying and aging that concentrate its vanillin and red fruit notes, and some pods even have natural splits, a sign of harvest at full maturity. This is precisely what makes it a favorite among perfumers and flavorists: it reveals all its power when infused in milk, hot cream, syrup, or alcoholic maceration, where it rehydrates and releases aromas of remarkable intensity. If you prefer a soft and fleshy pod to scrape directly, our Bourbon Gold vanillas will be more suitable for your use. Thank you for your understanding, and happy vanilla creations!

Looking forward,

Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Brigitte,

We warmly thank you for your feedback and your rating. We are delighted that the package pleased you, and we take your comment regarding the vanilla into account.
You purchased Bourbon Rouge vanilla and Brown vanilla which are dry (see product description), these pods are often richer in vanillin and more intense in infusion. Try it with scallops, flambéed with rum with just butter or vanilla cream, seasoned with a hint of curry for example. Another idea, a syrup infused for a long time at low temperature (around 80°C) and cooled for 24 hours, it will be excellent. We remain reachable if needed at 0374470017, do not hesitate.

Thank you sincerely for your understanding.

Have a very nice day.

Looking forward,

I have already bought vanilla several times on the site and I was very happy each time, that's why I came back. But with the last order, I was very disappointed because none of the vanilla bags (different varieties) were vacuum sealed, and in two of the bags, the pods are very dry. What is really disappointing is that I had talked about your pods to my family and I wanted to give them as a gift, but given the state, I changed my mind. Please take more care with these kinds of details, as they are very important.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Ioan,

Thank you for your message and for your loyalty, as you indicate that you have already ordered several times on our site.

We are sincerely sorry that this last order did not bring you complete satisfaction, especially in the perspective of introducing our vanillas to your family.

However, we would like to clarify a few points regarding the products received.

First of all, our bags are never vacuum sealed, and this applies to none of our orders. It is therefore quite normal that the bags do not have this vacuum-sealed appearance.

Regarding the vanillas that you describe as 'very dry', it is also important to distinguish the different preparations offered on our site.

The Bourbon Rouge from Madagascar and the Brown Vanilla from Lake Victoria are vanillas intentionally offered in a drier profile. This characteristic is specified in the descriptions of their product sheets and is also visible in the photographs presented on our site.

In contrast, our Bourbon Gold® from Madagascar corresponds to a much fleshier, softer, and moister vanilla, with a particularly indulgent profile.

Vanillas from different terroirs and supply chains can therefore present quite different textures: some are fattier and fleshier, while others are drier and more fibrous. This does not mean that they are altered or unfit for consumption.

We obviously attach great importance to the quality of our vanillas and the care taken in their selection. This is precisely why we present the origin, profile, and characteristics of each variety on our product sheets, with photographs that also allow you to visualize their appearance.

We fully understand, however, that you may prefer softer and fleshier pods, especially when they are intended to be given as gifts.

If you wish to renew the experience, we will be happy to assist you in choosing the fleshier and softer varieties from our collection, so that your next order better meets your expectations.

Thank you again for your trust and for recommending David Vanilla to your circle.

Looking forward,

David

Hello, I make yogurt with 16 liters of milk and usually I put 5 or 6 pods depending on the length. With your pieces of pods I put 25g, the yogurts barely had a vanilla taste. Next time I will put two packets of 25g
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Laïla,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. For such a large quantity preparation, the dosage is indeed important to achieve a sufficiently present vanilla flavor. For the Vanilla Cuts, we recommend about 1 tablespoon for 500 ml of liquid; you can adjust the quantity according to the desired intensity.
We hope your next preparation will bring you all the sought-after vanilla intensity.

Best regards, The team at davidvanille.com

I ordered vanilla pods at a very competitive price. The package was carefully wrapped and received very quickly BUT the quality of the vanilla pods is really not great. They are very dry and their scent and taste are not very conclusive. Really cheap but not great, I am disappointed.
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Cécile,

Thank you for your feedback. The choice of vanilla depends on several criteria: its moisture content, texture, variety, aromatic notes, and especially the intended use, whether for infusion or to extract the beans. You had chosen our Bourbon Rouge, a naturally dry vanilla, particularly suited for infusion. For a more fleshy and moist vanilla, we recommend the Bourbon Gold.
All our vanillas are carefully selected for their quality, but each has its own characteristics. We remain at your disposal to guide you in your choice!

Looking forward,

I find that the vanilla pods from Madagascar that I ordered are not very fleshy and did not flavor my flan which does not have that pastry taste.
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Chantal,

Thank you for your feedback. The Madagascar Vanilla Banana is a special variety, naturally fleshy and moist, with powdery notes, almond, and frangipane. To fully enjoy its aromas, we particularly recommend a sufficiently long infusion, which allows the scents to gradually release.

We are sorry that it did not bring the vanilla flavor you were hoping for to your flan and remain at your disposal to advise you.

Hello Marie-Joëlle,

Thank you for your feedback. We are a bit surprised that the Bourbon Gold from Madagascar did not fully satisfy you, as it is a vanilla that we particularly appreciate. However, we do not know your method for making your jams, which can also influence the final result.
Please do not hesitate to get back to us with your next order: we can discuss your method and advise you on the vanilla most suited to your jams.

I received exactly what I wanted but I was disappointed by the quality of the vanilla pods which were rather dry, they should be kept vacuum sealed to avoid this.

Hello Christelle,

Thank you for your feedback. The Lac Victoria is a naturally dry vanilla, with a low humidity level, as indicated in its description. It is indeed ideal for infusion to reveal its beautiful warm, vanilla, and cocoa notes. For more information about vanilla, we invite you to check the section "All about vanilla" on our website.

I am satisfied with the value for money because the vanilla is a bit dry. A little disappointed not to see any difference between the L and XL pods which are more expensive.
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Danielle,

Thank you for your feedback and for your comment. To choose your vanilla well, it is important to read the description on the site and to take into account the humidity level: with a reduced level for dry vanilla and a higher level for fattier vanilla. Regarding sizes L and XL, they are defined according to the batches from our producers: a large pod classified as L can thus be close to a small XL. We understand your disappointment and take your comment into account.
