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.
Translated reviews
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,

Quality products, reasonable delivery. However, it is very regrettable that the packaging is not the same as those shown in the photo. Let me explain. I ordered 20 different types of pepper, all of which are in bags that do not reseal. In short, the user experience is not practical at all.

Hello Aurélien,
Thank you for your feedback and for your words about the quality of our products.
Our spices are offered in bags, as specified in the 'Packaging' tab of each product sheet. The jar would significantly increase the price, and we strive for an impeccable quality-price ratio.
Thank you again for your trust.

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.
Translated reviews
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!
Best regards,

Hello Chantal,
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
As indicated in the product description, our Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Red has a high dry matter content and low humidity. This particularity gives it a beautiful aromatic range and makes it ideal for infusion for the preparation of desserts and other gourmet treats.
We remain at your disposal to advise you on the vanilla best suited to your expectations.

The first order was great, however for my second order, the different packages of the same variety of vanilla are of very uneven quality: very fleshy in one package, much more shriveled and dry in another. Let's see if they will keep well. I am really disappointed.

Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
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.

Hello Sylvie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and we apologize for the inconveniences encountered during the delivery of your order.
The rerouting of your package is related to the saturation of the initially chosen locker. We sincerely regret this logistical incident as well as the difficulties encountered for the pickup.
Thank you for selecting several varieties of vanilla with varying aromatic profiles. Each origin has its own characteristics, particularly in terms of texture and humidity levels, information specified in each product sheet.

I was disappointed this time because the vanilla I ordered was really very very dry, like little sticks of wood. I sent a message to customer service who replied that it's normal, this vanilla is always like that, dry. However, this is not the first time I've bought it and it has never been dry. Anyway, everything else in the order is perfect.

Hello Marion,

The vanilla you ordered this time is the Bourbon Red Vanilla from Madagascar, with a reduced moisture content, which cannot be compared to the Black Ebony Vanilla from Uganda, rich in essential oils, that you chose during your previous order.

Hello Nelly,

Hello Catherine. Thank you for your message. The Grandiose vanilla pods are an exceptional product, representing only 0.001% of vanilla harvests. In this category, the length of the pods can vary, but they are always larger than average, which justifies their classification as 'Grandiose'. Thank you for your understanding. Looking forward to it.

Hello Gérard,
Thank you very much for your feedback! The Black Gold Pompona Vanilla "GRANDIOSE" truly lives up to its name: these are extraordinary pods, with really impressive dimensions. Depending on the harvests, their width and volume can indeed vary slightly, but they remain selected in this exceptional XXXL category.
We understand that the "wow" effect of the photo makes you want to find exactly the same pods in the bag. Nature always keeps a little bit of surprise!

Certainly the prices are attractive for vanilla pods but the quality is mediocre. I ordered Tahitensis vanilla and received pods as hard as wood and very low in seeds. The other vanilla ordered (Bourbon Gold) is softer, fragrant but lacks flavor. In short, I am very disappointed with the vanilla. On the other hand, the Moroccan mint tea is excellent! In conclusion, for vanilla, there is no secret: if you want quality, you have to pay the price.

I was not satisfied with my last order regarding the Ugandan vanilla whose pods were all dry, I was already told that it was normal, these pods are drier than others from different origins, however I had already ordered this type of vanilla and it was not of this quality. The last ones are really tasteless. Here is my disappointment. The 10 pods as a gift are identical so hardly usable
Translated reviews
Response from DavidVanille.com – Spice Hunter
Hello,
To be perfectly clear: the Brown Vanilla Lac Victoria from Uganda is naturally dry and less fleshy, as explicitly stated on our site.
Pods sometimes cracked or curved = sign of mature harvest.
Dry texture = normal for this entry-level vanilla.
Aromas fully released only after rehydration.
