Customer reviews of DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter

Hello Léa,

Thank you for your order and your support.
We have taken note of your message left on the Avis Garantis site.

You chose Lac Victoria vanilla, which is a dry vanilla. As indicated in the product description on our site, this vanilla is distinguished by its powerful aromatic notes, ideal for flavoring delicate preparations, especially when infused in milk to make desserts or creams. The pods are fine, elegant, and allow for the release of subtle aromas.

If you scroll down the product sheet, you will find all the additional information regarding this vanilla, including storage and usage tips.

For preparations requiring a fatter and softer vanilla, we recommend Madagascar Bourbon vanilla or Uganda Black Ebony vanilla. These pods have a more oily texture, a higher moisture content, and are softer, making it easier to extract the seeds.

Furthermore, regarding vanilla caviar, it is composed solely of vanilla seeds, while vanilla powder is obtained by completely grinding the pod. Vanillin is mainly found in the pod's shell, not just in the seeds, which explains the difference in aromatic strength between caviar and powder.

We are sorry that Lac Victoria vanilla does not fully meet your expectations. As with any vanilla, it is important to choose your pod according to the intended use; do not hesitate to store it in a jar with a bit of rum to regain its softness and develop its volume.

Thank you very much for your understanding.
The entire David Vanille team joins me in wishing you a very happy 2026.

Best regards,
Isabelle
