100% Pure Vanilla Extract | Heilala

Premium, hand-selected vanilla beans grown in the sun-drenched Pacific Islands, are slow percolated using a unique cold extraction method to gently draw out and preserve the delicate aromatics and produce a sweet, creamy and complex vanilla extract.

No chemicals are used to speed up the percolation process and unlike most extracts on the market, we don't add any sugar. 

The beans are of the bourbon variety but are more moist than a typical Madagascar bourbon bean. The rich flavor and intoxicating fragrance puts Heilala 100% Pure Vanilla Extract in a league of its own.

98% of the world's vanilla is artificial. This is part of the rare 2% of real, pure vanilla. Products that are labelled as vanilla essence are typically imitation vanilla, a man-made chemical compound that mimics the flavor and aroma of real vanilla. It is commonly manufactured from by products of either the paper industry or from coal tar.
