Cinnamon - Cinnamon Exporter, Importer, Manufacturer, Distributor

Sri Lanka (Ceylon), with its favourable climate and ideal soil conditions, makes it rank among the largest Cinnamon growing countries of the world.

Cinnamon, the most delicately scented spice, is the bark of the Cinnamon tree. The finest quality is pale in colour, has a pleasing fragrance and a sweet aromatic taste. Cinnamon is used to whole, broken into small pieces, ground or powdered.

The mature branches of the tree are harvested and the outer bark is scraped off. The inner bark which is now exposed, is rubbed down with a small brass pole to help the bark release itself from the branch before it’s peeled with utmost care, in long lengths. These peels are joined together by overlaps to form quills, and the hollows filled with smaller pieces of the same peel. These are then air-cured and dried in the sun.

The Cinnamon quills are finally graded, weighed and exported in bales.

The Cinnamon bark oil is used as a food flavouring agent while the oil of the leaf is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.

Soluble Cinnamon, a standardized natural Cinnamon product is ideally suited as a flavouring agent in beverages, cakes, biscuits, curries, Cinnamon flavoured bread and doughnuts.

Cinnamon Oleoresin is an extract containing all the flavor and colour components of Cinnamon in a concentrated and easily dispensable form.
