This rating is just due to the fact that your site often freezes and goes back without stopping, making it complicated to place an order quickly

Very interesting prices for quality products. The site is slightly slow and bugs from time to time, especially when modifying quantities or the packaging of a product. The delivery was delayed compared to the estimated and indicated time on the carrier's site. Generally, I still recommend the site! I will trust David Vanille for my future spice purchases, that's for sure!

Fast delivery. Beautiful quality of vanilla. However, I am extremely disappointed with the vanilla fragments, the photo is more than misleading, it's frankly a shame which is why my rating is lower. I don't like deception.

Hello, The vanilla cuts mean cut, the photos posted online are from the batch. We also have a video where we present the product: https://www.davidvanille.com/fr/gousses-de-vanille/711-8117-vanille-cuts-eclats-de-vanille-declassees.html#/267-quantite-25g Best regards. The davidvanille.com team.

Easy to navigate, lots of information. Quick processing of the order and delivery within the announced timeframe. However, I was very disappointed with the quality received: extremely dry and brittle pods, requiring rehydration several days before use in pastry... and nothing was announced on the site!
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We describe the pods in our summary: Lac Victoria: Visual: Unlike the Black Ebony Vanilla from Uganda, which is more moist and fleshy, the Brown Vanilla has a dry texture. Red Bourbon Vanilla: A higher dry matter content, a reduced humidity level for an intense aromatic profile. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards. The team at davidvanille.com

I do not recommend this site, not because of the quality of the products (I do not have enough hindsight on this subject yet), but for two important points: 1. The choice of carrier (DPD): the delivery person did not bother to come to my house, even though I had taken a specific leave to receive the package. He directly dropped the package at a relay point outside my city. From there, David Vanilla unfortunately could no longer intervene. 2. The packaging: when my friend picked up the package, it was barely taped (see photo). All the products could have been lost along the way. Fortunately, he took the time to check on site that nothing was missing.

I bought brown vanilla pods from Uganda, they are good, quite large. However, I regret the site that forces customers to buy a minimum of €29. I needed about twenty pods and had to buy 70 to reach the required amount. This leads to overconsumption. Unacceptable!!!!

Too bad the black garlic is of such disappointing quality.
I buy it often, from different origins, this one is the worst I have ever bought, with a moldy aftertaste.
I ultimately did not use it.
For the other products, the quality is as always perfect.

The quality of the products is impeccable! The only downside for me: I live in Guadeloupe, and you insist on refusing to send my products via a simple tracked letter! I really do not understand your systematic refusal, as it is a very simple shipping method to implement, and very inexpensive! (No customs declaration to make, no tax to pay for me upon arrival in Guadeloupe)

A varied choice, quick and careful shipping. I mainly order when there are promotions otherwise a bit expensive. It would be good if the descriptions of some blends were more complete, because spices is a bit vague.

Happy with the quality-price ratio with the promotions obtained... however, I found the vanilla pods quite dry and I was also disappointed with the cinnamon sticks that crumble a lot... for me, they have been stored for too long. I haven't tested the rest so I can't say anything about it
