About Ceylon Cinnamon

True Ceylon Cinnamon

True Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is an iconic spice grown exclusively in Sri Lanka, celebrated worldwide for its delicate aroma, smooth flavour and superior quality. It is the original “true cinnamon” , distinct from cassia varieties, and has been treasured for centuries in culinary traditions and natural wellness practices.

Protected Geographical Indication (GI) Status

Sri Lankan Ceylon Cinnamon has been granted Geographical Indication (GI) certification, making it the first Sri Lankan product to achieve this recognition. GI status legally protects its name and origin, assuring consumers of genuine provenance, traceability and consistent quality linked to Sri Lanka’s unique climate and traditional processing methods.

What Makes True Ceylon Cinnamon Special

  • Grown and processed exclusively in Sri Lanka.
  • Botanically identified as Cinnamomum verum.
  • Naturally low coumarin content (≈0.004%), gentler for regular use.
  • Mild, sweet and refined flavour profile.
  • Traditionally hand-peeled and sun-dried by skilled artisans.

Ceylon Cinnamon Vs Cassia Cinnamon

Unlike cassia cinnamon, which is stronger, darker and higher in coumarin, True Ceylon Cinnamon is lighter in colour, softer in texture and delicately sweet. Its lower coumarin content makes it a safer and preferred choice for frequent culinary use.

Culinary Uses
