Hello Gilles, As I replied to you by email, my selections have a rare intensity thanks to a long aging. We can always do a simple demonstration. Take 1 kg of extraction vanilla (Papua extraction type or Bourbon Gold aged) and the same quality in development at 35% humidity (which is 50% fewer pods per kg but much larger because more humid). Ask your client for the best. The preference will always go for the extraction vanilla not yet fully aged. Should I sell a more humid vanilla to my clients, highlight a softer price per kg and offer it as black vanilla? Of course not. It is difficult to explain that a well-humid and large vanilla is not necessarily a guarantee of quality. Too often, vanillas sold as black vanillas are vanillas that lack aging with a humidity rate that decreases in a few days. Currently, the kg of vanilla is negotiated around $600-700. To guarantee you aged vanillas in the long term, David Vanilla will focus on purchasing extraction vanilla as in the photo. Extraction vanilla, pods much drier than black vanilla, an intense nose. Today, what was previously despised by the market is part of the noblest lots. Obviously, there are many more pods in a kilo of extraction vanilla than in a kilo of so-called black vanilla. This will allow me to maintain an attractive pod/price ratio for my loyal private and professional clients. The most important: the ratio of vanillin content to dry matter is much higher than that of black vanilla regardless of its origin. Vanilla pods thus offer a more pronounced and

Very beautiful products (gold vanilla), with a gift (pepper), very fast shipping... unfortunately, I didn't have the choice of delivery and I was forced to take GLS whose agency I depend on is lax and incompetent, given many unfortunate experiences. Result, a postponement of the delivery date then no news on the scheduled day and delivered the next day... so excellent products served by a disastrous delivery. With more choice for delivery, even if I have to pay a little more, it will be 5 stars.

Hello Stéphane, Thank you for your feedback. Your order was placed on Monday at 9:45 PM. My driver came to pick up your order on Tuesday afternoon. It was stated that orders would be sent on Wednesday, May 23 when you placed your order (see your GLS invoice at your home + SENDING WEDNESDAY, MAY 23). I had specified this deadline so that my clients would not be impatient during this busy week logistically. The delivery was made 3 days later on Friday the 25th. It is true that the delivery was longer than usual due to high activity on the platform in your region. However, I would not say it was

Hello Edith, You purchased 25g of Bourbon Gold Vanilla and received 15 pods. On the site, it is marked: "50g" of Bourbon Gold +11cm equals about 25-30 pods. So you did receive the number of pods marked on DavidVanille.com at the highest division :-) I hope you appreciate the aromatic quality of my vanilla pods. Thank you sincerely for your order, Looking forward to it, David Vanille.

Good site.
Fast shipping and a little bonus bag of pepper added to my order.
A bit disappointed by the vanilla pods which are not of better quality than those I buy in supermarkets.

Hello David,
For the Bourbon Gold vanilla 10-12cm, the pods are of small caliber but the customer has the choice between Bourbon Gold vanilla 10-12cm to have a significant pod ratio, Bourbon Gold vanilla +13cm, and Bourbon Gold vanilla aged 14-18cm. The longer the vanilla, the better its quality and the fewer pods there are.
For the Uganda - Rwenzori Gold vanilla, it is clearly stated in the description that it is a

Hello Anita,
Thank you for your review.
In 2013, the price per kilo was around 53 euros. Five years later, you need to count more than 650 euros for a Bourbon Gold vanilla from Madagascar. Other countries have followed suit and it is very difficult to find vanilla. Currently, there is a significant crisis in the market.
Thank you sincerely for your understanding,
Best regards,
David Vanilla

Thank you sincerely Henri for your loyalty and your order.
I apologize for the postal delay on your order. Despite sending it on Monday via registered mail, the package was lost in the cold after the floods in France. I contacted the postal customer service several times, but it was a real adventure for you to receive this order.
Please know that a discount voucher of -15% will be offered on your next order.
Thank you in advance for your understanding,
Have a great day,
Looking forward,
David Vanilla
