Excellent quality and taste. I have it on a recurring order and never had a problem. Great service

Very good, nice smell

I make homemade vanilla syrup for my coffee out of these and baking vanilla syrup, and while these beans are absolutely a step up from grocery store synthetic vanilla, I’ve had much better beans! They’re a bit…chemical tasting? It’s worth an extra £5-10 to get truly excellent quality beans if possible and these aren’t that.

Really good for the price. Seems to be great quality with excellent flavour and fragrance.

Update.In the quiet corners of my kitchen, a culinary experiment unfolded, a symphony of fragrance and flavor orchestrated by the humble vanilla bean.I had embarked on a quest for the perfect vanilla, and my latest acquisition, a blend of Madagascan and Indonesian varieties, promised to be something special.With anticipation humming in my veins, I split the pods, their ebony interiors revealing a treasure trove of tiny seeds. The air filled with a heady perfume, complex and alluring. I steeped the fragrant pods in whole milk, a ritual of patience and warmth, allowing the essence of vanilla to infuse the creamy liquid.After a restful slumber in the refrigerator, the milk emerged transformed, its surface shimmering with a golden hue. I lifted the lid, and the aroma that greeted me was a revelation.It was a tapestry of scents, a floral waltz intertwined with the deep, woody notes of an aged wine cellar. And then, a whisper of something else, a memory stirred from the depths of my mind, a sun-dappled path winding through a lush rainforest.I took a tentative sip, and the world around me dissolved. I was enveloped in a garden of blooming flowers, their sweetness dancing on my tongue. A hint of oak and spice lingered, a testament to the vanilla's complex origins. And then, like a forgotten dream resurfacing, I was transported to the edge of that verdant forest, its vibrant life humming in harmony.In that moment, I understood the true magic of cooking. It is not merely the act of combining ingredients, but a journey of the senses, an exploration of memory and emotion.Each dish tells a story, woven from the threads of our personal experiences, and every bite is an invitation to dream.This delightful blend of Madagascan and Indonesian vanilla has certainly opened a door to new possibilities. Perhaps, in your own kitchen, a similar adventure awaits. A different blend of vanilla, a new recipe, a taste of the unexpected.Let your senses guide you, and may your culinary creations be filled with the joy of discovery.Consider exploring the world of vanilla further, experimenting with the others varieties offered. Each one holds its own unique charm, ready to transport you to new realms of flavor and delight.

The only vanilla bean i had previously used was from a supermarket, so it was a lovely surprise when i opened this packet. The smell of vanilla hit me first then when i took the beans out i couldn't believe how moist and plump they were compared to the dried supermarket ones. I haven't used them yet but can't wait to try them in my next batch of vanilla gelato.

I ordered some vanilla beans that I put into a bottle of vodka to make my own vanilla extract. These beans were lovely and fresh and when I sliced them open lengthwise the vanilla aroma was amazing. So they will stay in the bottle for a year and then I will have a much more affordable option for vanilla extract. I just give the bottle a shake to agitate the vanilla beans whenever I go into the pantry ( daily ) and then I have to exercise my patience until the vodka has performed its magic. This is my way around overly expensive vanilla extract.
