Our vanilla is both ethical and sustainable
At Heilala we’re about making mindful choices that taste as good as they feel. As a B Corp, we uphold ethical values, and with every purchase, we contribute 5 cents to the Heilala Vanilla Foundation. Our zero-waste commitment isn't just a nod to sustainability; it's an integral part of our identity, ensuring that every decision aligns with our dedication to a responsible future.

The heart and soul of our brand is rooted in Tonga
In 2002, Heilala's story unfolded after a hurricane struck the Kingdom of Tonga, a group of islands in the South Pacific. New Zealand farmer John Ross aided families in Vava'u by helping them rebuild their homes in the aftermath of the hurricane. As a token of gratitude, John received a piece of land and aimed to create job opportunities on the remote island.
Tonga is at the core of how and why we started -- to help a community survive and thrive. We’ve formed special relationships with farmers, team and village leaders. We are as passionate as the day we started about supporting communities in Tonga and through the Heilala Vanilla Foundation, we will continue to have a positive impact on families. Our founding story and strong connections to Tonga serve as guiding principles for our global sourcing operations.
