Heilala Vanilla

About Us

The Good Vanilla

Heilala Vanilla’s origins began in 2002 as an aid project founded by New Zealander, John Ross, and his family.

The Kingdom of Tonga had been ravaged by Cyclone Waka, leaving the Islands and its people shattered in the wake of an exceptionally vicious natural disaster.

Partnering with a local family in the village of Utungake, together they established a small vanilla plantation that robustly grew into the world renowned humanitarian vanilla brand, Heilala Vanilla. Now sourcing vanilla from all over the world.

While brands in our space opt for cream, beige, and brown tones, Heilala is energetic, fun and embracing of the good times. We are a vibrant celebration of all things bold, bright and South Pacific-inspired. When it comes to elevating your baking experience, Heilala stands out. Infused with color, warmth and vibrant vanilla flavor, our products are not just delicious— they leave a vanilla taste that lingers with every bite. Join us in bringing a taste of joy to your culinary adventures
