The vanilla of Madagascar does not correspond absolutely to my expectations and especially not to the photo which is on the site
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
Our Gourmet vanilla is the same as in the photo we took. It is fleshy, fresh and rich in seeds. Of course, one can always have higher requirements and we always recommend communication in order to offer you products according to your needs.

I did get the vanilla extract. But it doesn't taste the same as last time: it tastes more like alcohol...
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
Our extract is produced by hand; its taste and smell may vary from one batch to another, but the ingredients remain in identical proportions.

The products are quality, well packaged and shipped quickly. I'm taking off 2 stars because the delivery is marked as offered, but as soon as you log in to finalize the order, fees appear...

Very good product but the prices have gone up in less than a year and that's a shame
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
Over the last 12 months we have not applied any price increase and the prices of vanilla have even decreased. We do not understand your comment very well.

I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. The lack of communication was the problem caf I had to send a message to know why my order did not arrive (approx 10 days) while the delivery charges are to my taste a little expensive.
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
we send emails at each step of the order's progress.
Once the package is shipped, the carrier is responsible for communicating on the tracking of packages.
Perhaps you had badly informed your email address.

Fast shipping. I ordered 3 different kinds of vanilla (kely, prima and papouasie). The size and freshness is decent, but I find it severely lacking in flavor. I expected much better.

I did not receive my first package because of the post office but Sambavanilla was very reactive to send me back a package that I received well this time, the vanilla looks top quite fragrant. I thank you Sambavanilla, I would surely do another order with you.

I ordered the top of the range and expected better, I don't see the difference with the one I buy in a bag at the supermarket. I'm very pleased with the service.
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
The first difference is probably the price.

A little disappointed with the size of the vanilla, very small
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
The kelly pods have a size of 13 cm. If you want longer pods, we can offer you the gourmet pods or the Papua XL pods.

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.
Translated reviews
Response from Sambavanilla
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 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.

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.
