Ceylon cinnamon quills, also known as true cinnamon, are the tightly rolled inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, native to Sri Lanka. These quills are made by carefully peeling the thin, delicate inner bark and hand-rolling it into sticks, which are then cut into smaller lengths. The result is a fragrant, golden-brown quill with many fine layers, prized for both its appearance and its subtle, sweet aroma. Ceylon cinnamon stands apart from common cassia cinnamon due to its softer, more fragile texture and its refined, mildly sweet flavour with gentle citrus and floral notes. When broken, the quills release a light, authentic fragrance that enhances both sweet and savoury dishes. They are commonly added whole to stewed fruits, curries, mulled drinks, and desserts, or infused in hot beverages for a delicately spiced taste. Regarded as the premium choice among cinnamons, Ceylon cinnamon quills are low in coumarin and highly valued by chefs and home cooks alike. Store quills in an airtight container away from light and moisture to maintain their aroma and flavour. Their versatility and elegance make them a staple in kitchens that appreciate the finest quality spices. Quill Length: 75mm (3")
