Heilala Pure Vanilla Paste / 2.29 oz

Award-winning Heilala Pure Vanilla Paste offers superior quality and flavor. It has received glowing recommendations in Food & Wine, Cherry Bombe, Martha Stewart, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Heilala Vanilla, from the tiny Kingdom of Tonga in the Pacific, has captured the world’s attention in no small measure.

The brand started in 2002 as a humanitarian aid project by New Zealander John Ross and his family. In 2002, cyclone Waka devastated the nation of Tonga, so John and his family partnered with a local Tongan family to start a small vanilla planation to help the community get back on its feet.

Heilala continues to be very much a community endeavor – friendly, social, and family oriented in the Tongan way, while at the same time protecting the local lifestyle and contributing to a world-renowned Tongan vanilla.

Some of the world’s most famous chefs swear by Heilala Pure Vanilla Paste, including the late Gina DePalma (New York), Ken Takayama (California) and Peter Gordon (London).

“Ingredients make the difference between ordinary and extraordinary and that is why we use quality ingredients such as Heilala Vanilla Beans.”
Ken Takayama

“I’m proud to use Heilala Vanilla and I am proud to support their efforts to bring Tonga’s vanilla crop to the world.”
Gina DePalma

“I love the consistent first-rate quality of Heilala Vanilla. The best part is that they have a genuine and beautiful story behind their product, a true partnership with the village of Utungake in Vava’u Tonga.”
Peter Gordon
