Reviews
Sur nos recommandations -- selon notre méthode d'affinage élaborée à la Dominique pour la vanille Waitukubuli de l'île Nature -- les gousses de vanille Planifolia du Congo n'ont pas été échaudées et sont donc intactes, fraîches, et continuent à se bonifier avec l'âge tel un millésime qu'on laisse tranquillement vieillir en cave
