Mixed review during my last order. There are no more free spice bags, which is a shame because it was beautiful, the price of some spices has risen enormously. But fortunately, not the vanilla, which is still excellent.

Following my order of vanilla from Uganda and Papua, I found the one from Uganda larger than the one from Papua even though it was given as size L otherwise I found some pods really smaller and shabby a bit disappointed with this order. Usually I order more of the bourbon which is really top ... Otherwise I still recommend the site because David and his team are attentive and I think love their job Thank you all

Disappointed once again with my order. The first time a packet of sugar was forgotten and now I ordered 110 vanilla pods, the batch of 100 pods relatively beautiful and on the batch of 10 one could think that it is not at all the same quality. The pods are all small

I had a small problem connecting to your site because my password was not recognized and it was impossible to change it with my usual email address. I had to use another address and everything went back to normal. This simply delayed the delivery by a few days but for me, it was not bothersome. After that, the delivery went very well.

Satisfied with my vanilla order but I was surprised that the pods were so small. Maybe give their size in centimeters in the description. Nevertheless, the taste is there. Fast delivery and careful package.

A little disappointed because some pods are flat with hardly any seeds inside and since we ordered them together, I kept all the flat ones so my friend wouldn't be disappointed.

Disappointed by the green tea with orange zest. Very fragrant in the bag but the orange scent disappears during infusion. Only green tea remains. I haven't tested the other teas.

Hello. I received moldy pods. I took photos before and after opening the freshness bag
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello,
It is the fats from the vanilla that rise when the vanilla is stored in the cold (in our workshop) and shipped.
When you run your finger over it or in front of a heat source, the essential oil and fat pearls (20% of the vanilla, see Wikipedia, etc...) melt.
This is a sign of excellent quality vanilla, quite rare to find in stores and fine grocery stores.
A simple call to our customer service would have allowed you to verify.
Best regards,
David Vanilla

Hello, disappointed when opening my package. It was the first time I ordered from this e-shop. Here’s why = 1/ the Bourbon Rouge pods are dry (while the Gourmet Vanilla are soft) 2/ the package 'dried onion strips' has a label indicating a truncated expiration date (...before 31/12/202 (2021?2022?2023? ...) I understand why you send a SMS asking to verify the order

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Madame Balladur, Here is the summary and description of the red vanilla where we explain why it is a dry vanilla. Did you take the time to read the sheet of what you were buying? https://www.davidvanille.com/fr/gousses-de-vanille/394-6434-gousses-de-vanille-bourbon-rouge-m-medaille-d-or.html#/253-quantite-2_gousses For the onion strips, mea culpa, the missing number is 3, which is 2023. The date is visible under the product summary 'packaging - Freshness Bag - DUO 12/ I hope you appreciated the gift included with your order and the care taken in its preparation. I do not invite you to reorder on www.DavidVanille.com and encourage you to shop elsewhere. Thank you in advance, Best regards, David Vanille

This note does not target the quality of the vanilla pods. But it targets the slowness of delivery to Belgium (+15 days). I am not sure I will order again. This being my 2nd order and the first was also long. Not to mention that I did not receive the pod in time, so I had to make a purchase in a store. In short, delivery time to be reviewed. But beautiful pods upon receipt. I almost forgot, surprise in the box. Thank you.

Hello Sandra, We did our best for your order (Fast shipping, Gift, Quality of products) but unfortunately we are not Mondial Relay. We no longer work with them due to these delays and have opted for colissimo relay in Belgium. Best regards, The David Vanille team

Hello, I am disappointed with the batch of 10 vanilla pods, I received 5 good and 5 less well filled, well for me it is commercial technique, I will order more, however the 2 other individual pods, outside of batches, are correct the vanilla smell is there and found in my vanilla ganache.
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello, Your pods were the same size and from the same batch. Commercial technique? What a human folly to read this kind of review. Do you think I am Mother Nature and that a pod of the same caliber and from the same batch has fewer grains? It is simply erroneous. The water content does not determine the quality of a pod and of the same size, a pod with the same number of grains... As for the vanilla from Sri Lanka, when we receive pods over 17cm and call that 'correct', it's a joke, especially in terms of quality/price at which we offer it... Good Winds,

Easy-to-access site well explained, fast and attentive delivery, very practical packaging for preserving the pods, sober and the reminder of the notes on the types of vanilla is very appreciated depending on the desired use. A small downside on one of my packages of red bourbon vanilla gold medal 10 pods that I do not find at all soft to the touch through the packaging unlike the other ordered bags. I will send you my opinion on the pods after use and tasting

This is not the first time I order from David Vanille and I am not disappointed, the products are of quality and always well packaged, maybe even a bit too much I think, the over-packaging could be reduced by grouping identical pods or using more suitable packaging for the pods alone in a huge empty bag.
