Vanilla Beans
Great service. will buy again.
This one was a miss
I have ordered a few items from this company, and all have been great - EXCEPT- my order of Madagascar beans. My package wasn’t sealed and the beans were dry as a result. I contacted the company number, left a message, but I never got a response. I called 8+ times, but no one ever answers the phone; the message box is filled.
Received product as described and within a short time. Happy with the product.
Great vanilla beans!
These beans are plump and moist! I use for make extract. Would highly recommend buying from solofood! I have ordered from them several times and I’m never disappointed!
Great purchase!
My package of 35 Madascar grade B beans were great—there were actually 40 beans in the package. The beans were shrink-wrapped and very well-packaged, fresh, pliable, aromatic. They’re currently macerating in jars of bourbon and everclear, so the final taste test will be in a few weeks..
