Why Choose True

Ceylon Cinnamon?

Discover the subtle sweetness and unmatched health benefits of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, the only true cinnamon in the world, harvested by hand in the hills of Sri Lanka.

The Rare Distinction of Origin

Grown exclusively in the mineral-rich soils of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), our cinnamon is renowned for its complex, floral profile and delicate citrus notes. Unlike common cassia, true Ceylon cinnamon is harvested by peeling the inner bark of the cinnamon tree into paper-thin layers that are then manually rolled into quills.

To preserve the delicate volatile oils, rich aroma, and distinct flavor of your Ceylon cinnamon, always store it in a high-quality, airtight glass container. Keep the container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard, well away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat sources like stoves or ovens. For maximum freshness, avoid refrigerating or freezing your cinnamon, as condensation can ruin its quality.
