Slofoodgroup Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks – 1 lb True Cinnamon Quills (5-Inch)

Discover Slofoodgroup Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks

From Sri Lanka, these Ceylon cinnamon sticks are true cinnamon, known for a lighter, sweeter profile and a delicate aroma. The quills are 5 inches long, hand-rolled, and pale tan to light brown in color. This product is not cassia and is naturally lower in coumarin content, offering a refined alternative for cooks who value balance and subtlety in spice work. EarthKosher certified, the quills arrive sealed for freshness so you can enjoy aroma and flavor at home without compromise.

The quills are described as soft and breakable, releasing aromatic notes as soon as they’re crumbled or ground. Expect a gentle, floral sweetness with citrus hints that can complement a wide range of dishes and drinks without overpowering other ingredients. This makes Ceylon cinnamon particularly well suited for applications where a restrained cinnamon presence is desired, from breakfast bowls to savory spice blends.

Flavor, Aroma, and Sensory Notes

Users often note a light fragrance that is sweeter and tea-like compared to stronger, spicier varieties. When broken, the quills release a nuanced aroma described as delicate and citrusy, with wisps of woodiness. This sensory profile supports a broad set of culinary ideas, especially where a subtle warmth is preferred over a bold punch.

Key Benefits to Consider

• True cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) rather than cassia, with a milder, sweeter profile.
• Long, 5-inch quills that can be easily broken by hand for quick flavor release.
• All Natural and EarthKosher certified, with a focus on freshness and quality.
• Naturally lower in coumarin content, which some cooks seek for everyday use.

Suggested Uses

• Infuse beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, or mulled drinks for a gentle spice note.
• Grind and sprinkle over yogurt, oats, breakfast pastries, or fresh berries to elevate sweetness with warmth.
• Add to curries, stews, and savory spice blends to provide depth without overpowering heat.
• In baking, tuck these quills into doughs, pies, and fruit desserts for a balanced cinnamon presence.

Storage and Freshness

Keep in a cool, dry place and seal after use to preserve aroma. Because the quills crumble easily, grinding close to use helps you capture the full fragrance and flavor of true cinnamon.
