Sri Lanka is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest cinnamon, valued for its warm sweetness and fragrant aroma. Grown in a long-established cinnamon-producing region, these sticks offer a nuanced flavor that’s well-suited to both sweet and savory dishes. Their thin, tightly rolled quills break easily, making it simple to control intensity and layer flavor.
Cinnamon sticks are ideal for infusing broths, stews, curries, and poaching liquids, or for finely grating with a microplane to add aromatic warmth to oatmeal and baked desserts. Across global cuisines, cinnamon is a key ingredient in Indian biryani and chai, Middle Eastern baklava, Latin American mole, hot chocolate and rice pudding, and European tea cakes.
Store sealed in a cool, dry place for 9–12 months. For best flavor, use soon after opening.
