Ceylon cinnamon sticks
Discover the refined elegance of Authentic Ceylon Cinnamon sticks. Often referred to as "True Cinnamon," our Ceylon Cinnamon sticks are hand-harvested from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum trees native to Sri Lanka. Unlike common Cassia cinnamon, which is thick and pungent, Ceylon cinnamon is prized for its delicate, multi-layered quills and a sophisticated flavor profile featuring subtle notes of citrus and honey.
Its light and understated flavor makes it perfect for dishes that don’t have other flavors competing for the foreground.
