What to ask before you compare prices
Two offers on the same grade are only comparable once you know the vanillin content and the moisture level. Moisture determines how much dry matter you are actually buying per kilogram, and vanillin determines how the lot will perform in extraction. Ask for both, measured by an independent laboratory, along with the analysis date and the lot reference.
We publish specifications once they have been measured on the lots we can actually supply. Where a figure is markedon request below, it means the current lot analysis has not been issued yet — not that the figure is flexible.
