One of the few sites to mention the vanillin content, vanilla as described .... ...but, the taste is not there. I'm used to making ice cream and custards with vanilla beans, but I didn't find the smell and taste I usually had. I'm going to double the doses, and it will become a luxury dessert, too bad.

For a better infusion of the pods, we recommend that you let them soak in the milk for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before starting your preparations.

I purchased vanilla powder and was very disappointed with the quality of the product delivered. the product did not conform to the vanilla powder, there was no vanilla flavour and no smell. if it was powder from used pods, they were very used up. my husband is a pastry chef, so he was able to judge the product in good faith. the dispute was resolved and we received a refund.

I placed my order on 02/09/20, I received it on 10/09/20. Delivery too long!

We ship our packages within 24 hours after the order, but we do not control the delays of the Post Office.

I thought the pod would be larger however it was well filled and had a lot of flavor. Next time I will take the higher quality.

I have received my order and it is now ready to be shipped. The product was just crushed (cocoa bean crumbs). I would like to thank you for the great service.

It would have been better to test the product before giving your opinion.

I just received my order, the vanilla is still beautiful. I ordered cinnamon and instead I got turmeric... too bad

Quite disappointed with the black pepper from Madagascar. Indeed it is quite bland, unlike that of another supplier

Disappointed that the vanilla does not come from Reunion Island. It comes from Madagascar. ...less good for my taste. Less fleshy pods than the ones I had brought from Reunion. Fast shipping but too expensive for the quality.
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
We thought it was sufficiently clear that our vanilla comes from Madagascar.
We take note of your comment without entering into the debate of whether vanilla from Reunion is better than vanilla from Madagascar.
As for the shipping costs, they are calculated according to the weight of the packages and not the quality of the products.
