Peter Gordon - NZ/London

"I love the consistent first rate quality of Heilala Vanilla. The best part is that they have a genuine and beautiful story behind their product, a true partnership with the village of Utungake in Vava’u Tonga. My visit there last year to the Heilala Plantation was a very memorable experience, one that I’ll always treasure".
