Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks

This product is not currently available.

This Sri Lankan cinnamon has a more subtle, delicate flavor than the more common Cassia cinnamon. The most delicate inner bark of the young cinnamon tree is collected, dried in the sun and rolled by hand to create richly fragrant cinnamon “quills” of uniform length (6.5 inches, to be exact). Simmer them in panna cottas and ice creams—or curries and squash soups—and marvel at how good your kitchen smells.

Here's what you get:

  • .7 ounces of 6.5-inch long cinnamon sticks

Whole vs. Ground

Whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and coriander can be preferable to dried, crushed spices in many types of cooking. They are ideal for simmering in milk or cream mixtures to form the base of a milk pudding, panna cotta, ice cream or even frosting. It’s much easier to strain them out than it is to get rid of bits of ground spice—and it preserves the silky texture and delicacy of flavor that can be hard to come by with ground spices. Try them in savory foods, too, adding them to curries and then straining them out, or crush them with the flat side of a knife to get that punchy flavor of the fresh spice. Since they’re not pre-ground, the flavor will be wonderfully pronounced.
