La vanille était longue, grasse, charnue. L'emballage très hermétique permet à la vanille de se conserver longtemps. Les recettes proposées sur le site sont intéressantes. Je recommande
J’utilise cette vanille dans mes infusions et desserts. Le goût est riche, profond, avec des notes chocolatées et florales. C’est un vrai plaisir sensoriel. Je recommande à 100 % !
Une gousse de vanille de Madagascar comme on en trouve rarement ! Grasse et ultra parfumée.
