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.

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.
Looking forward,

I ordered 3 types of vanilla, Papua and Uganda very good, but very disappointed with the Madagascar vanilla which is of poor quality. 3rd order at David vanilla and 1st disappointment, it's a shame.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Stéphane,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted that the vanillas from Papua and Uganda pleased you. The Bourbon Rouge is a deliberately drier vanilla, highly appreciated by pastry chefs and ice cream makers for its intense and deep aromatic notes. It is important to choose your vanilla according to the use you want to make of it, to check its humidity level, and then to consider its aromatic characteristics.
We are here to advise you!

Hello Nathalie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding your second order.
However, we would like to clarify the differences you may have noticed between the bags. We sometimes upgrade certain pods offered in size M even though they are of a larger caliber. Thus, you may receive larger pods than the caliber indicated on the package, which may explain the variations in appearance between several bags.
We remain attentive to the quality of our products and thank you for your trust.

Declassed vanilla has no taste, no flavor. Try it in cocktails and pastries, even doubling the doses. Very disappointed
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello Michel. Thank you for your feedback. Declassed vanilla is a natural vanilla whose aromatic intensity can vary depending on its use and preparation. To fully reveal its aromas, we recommend gently rehydrating it in a bit of milk, infusion, or alcohol according to your recipes. Once rehydrated, the pods swell and release warm and aromatic notes. For your cocktails, prefer a vanilla with a higher moisture content (Bourbon gold from Madagascar or Blue Mountain from Papua New Guinea) Looking forward to it, the davidvanille.com Team

Aromatic: The Brown LAC VICTORIA Vanilla (dry texture) is distinguished by warm, deeply vanilla notes and subtly cocoa-like. Its greedy nose reveals a harmonious blend of ripe mirabelle and melting caramel, evoking a fruity sweetness and slightly spicy, with hints of undergrowth. With each use, it releases an aromatic complexity that enriches your creations. Once rehydrated in milk, a sauce, or even an alcohol, the pod doubles in volume and releases all its aromatic essence,

There are different varieties of vanilla with a more or less dry texture; the same goes for the humidity level. You need to choose your vanilla based on what you want to make. It's not the appearance that determines the quality of the vanilla. Regarding Bourbon vanilla, the Red variety often has higher vanillin content than that of a Black Gold Bourbon vanilla, which is fattier!

Hello Sylvain,
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.
The Tahitensis Vanilla from Ecuador S is indeed a vanilla with a low moisture content (18 to 25%), as indicated in its description. Its texture is therefore naturally drier and may seem more brittle.
On the other hand, it reveals after infusion a very beautiful aromatic palette, with delicate fruity and floral notes that embody the character of this wild and rare vanilla.
