Sri Lankan cinnamon, or Ceylon cinnamon, is often referred to by the monikers true cinnamon and sweet cinnamon because of the historical presence and flavor profile that differs from the more common, Cassia cinnamon. While of the same genus, Cinnamomum, cassia bark. has a much harsher taste than its (in our opinion, far superior) Ceylon cousin.

For the sake of trade and purchase today, all species are considered cinnamon, but as per its original Latin origins, true cinnamon is the scientific literal translation of cinnamon bark derived from the Cinnamomum Verum tree. Sri Lankan cinnamon sticks, while less common and more expensive, are favored by Pastry Chefs in Europe for their soft, delicate, and clean cinnamon flavor. A large difference between Ceylon cinnamon quills and Cassia cinnamon sticks is that the Ceylon variety is filled like a fine cigar. The flesh is soft and brittle and easily broken by hand, whereas Cassia cinnamon or Cassia bark is hardier and woodier and do not break easily.

This particular organic cinnamon quills from Sri Lankan is C5-special grade, the finest, and most sought-after grade of Ceylon cinnamon quill in the world.

How is Ceylon Cinnamon Produced?
How to Use Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks?

A tree is grown and nurtured for about 2 years at which point it is chopped down to a stump. After a short time, dozens of small shoots spring up from the stump. The shoots are allowed to mature and thicken to about two inches in diameter. After the green outer bark is then shaved off and the inner bark is struck evenly and bruised until it releases from the heart of the wood. This inner bark is removed in large sheets, cut into strips, and air-dried. These strips are then curled into quills of cinnamon that are further dried in ovens or by baking outside under the sun. After achieving a sufficient "tan", the quills are sent on their way around the world, where they are prized by bakers, culinary enthusiasts, and holistic healers.

Sri Lankan cinnamon, aka: Ceylon cinnamon, is smooth and aromatic with hints of citrus, sugar, and butter. It's known for being sweeter and more subtle than other varieties of cinnamon. That complex aroma is a perfect all-purpose cinnamon for using in curries, stews, and a wide assortment of pastries. Try dusting over oatmeal or mixing with sugar on buttered toast. We highly recommend using this cinnamon in the Mexican rice milk drink, horchata, or in the English favorite, eggnog. Or, try it our recipe for a mango vegan ice cream!

Love the flavor of Ceylon Cinnamon

This is my second order and just like the first the aroma is amazing. I just finished my first Ceylon Cinnmon extract and will be using it to make a simple cinnamon syrup with it. I also ground some into a one powder and plan on making homemade Cinnamon bird very soon. As with the first order, the delivery was quick. I love the flavor of this cinnamon and plan to keep a supply of it in my cupboard.

Ground plus extract

About a month ago I bought a pound of the Ceylon cinnamon. First time purchase and never tasted this. I made the extract on 12/3 which will be finished in about two weeks. I had a lot of cinnamon sticks left so I purchased a coffee bean grinder. I then ground and sifted enough to put in small jars for gifting. It was during the grinding that I decided to taste a pinch of the ground and what a treat. I wasn’t expecting a naturally sweet taste. I love it and made French toast using this cinnamon and I also made cinnamon sugar. It was delicious. I’m looking forward to making cinnamon coffee cake and cookies with the extract. It is just as described and I will be purchasing more.
