I first heard about Heilala Vanilla while interviewing New Zealand born, London based chef Peter Gordon…
Since then I had the privilege to taste their intoxicating vanilla paste and mentioned them on numerous occasions.
Here's how Heilala Vanilla came to be:
"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."
They chose 4th of July week to introduce the Heilala Vanilla Syrup to American audiences.
All you have to do is make a trip to your local William Sonoma store and it will be there, waiting, ready to tease your palate.
Heilala Vanilla Syrup is perfect company for pancakes or waffles.
Surprise you guests with a Heilala Vanilla Martini or Virgin Mixed Drinks like a Vanilla Passion.
For simple pleasures, pour it over ice cream.
Heilala Vanilla Syrup retails for $14.
We are happy to share the intoxicating flavors of Heilala Vanilla with this Sponsored Post.
