Bake from Scratch

The Official Vanilla of Bake from Scratch

Heilala Vanilla is a New Zealand-based vanilla producer that grows organic vanilla beans of unparalleled quality on their family-owned and -operated vanilla plantation in the Kingdom of Tonga. The company was founded by New Zealand’s Ross family in 2002 as an aid project to support Tonga through the family’s vanilla bean plantation following severe cyclone damages. Heilala’s vanilla is now used in some of the top restaurants and bakeries in the United States, including Eleven Madison Park, Gramercy Tavern, Ovenly, and Flora Bar.

Not only is Heilala leading philanthropic ventures, but their vanilla products are of superior quality. Special care is given to their vanilla beans from the growing process to fermentation, which produces large, plump vanilla beans with a rich and intense flavor. Whether it’s their vanilla beans, paste, extract, or any of their other premium products, Heilala brings luxurious vanilla notes to our recipes.
