The partnership of two Pacific families, united by a passion for the world’s most sensual and exotic flavour and aroma. Behind this most intoxicating vanilla lies a story.
What started as a gift of land from a Tongan chief turned into an aid project and then a flourishing business. Our family was lured by the unspoiled beauty of the Vava’u Islands in the Kingdom of Tonga and the beautiful people. Using our horticultural background and research facilities in Tauranga New Zealand, a Vanilla Plantation came to pass.
The richest grade of Vanilla in the Asia Pacific region calls for lots of tender love and care. The most perfect and natural growing environment meant that we were off to a good start. Add to this our organic growing principles and you get vanilla grown in organic virgin soil, on coconut husk frames, hand pollinated and dried under the Pacific Sun, then stored at optimum conditions to ensure full flavour develops. This is what gives our 100% Pure Heilala Vanilla (of the Bourban variety) its distinctive aroma, shine and plumpness!
Heilala Vanilla Syrup is 100% Pure Vanilla and has Heilala Vanilla Extract as its foundation, and each bottle contains a whole vanilla pod to ensure the natural flavour continues to develop in the bottle. The addition of natural sugar creates a thicker, treacle-like liquid that is perfect for those times where anyone want to add a ‘flavour hijack’ to a simple dish without having to spend hours in the kitchen. Packaged in a 500ml bottle.

Using premium organic golden Sugar as a base, it is delicately infused with Heilala Vanilla Extract and then mixed with very finely ground Vanilla Beans to create the most perfect combination of the sweetness of sugar and the intoxicating flavour of Pure Vanilla.
