Key qualities

• Light brown to tan color with a milder, nuanced sweetness compared with bolder varieties.
• Each stick is typically around 5 inches, providing ample surface area for robust infusion.

Origin and culinary context

Our cinnamon hails from Sri Lanka, a renowned source for true cinnamon. In Mexico, this spice is known as canela and is a staple in café de olla and traditional desserts. While Mexico relies on imports for cinnamon, Sri Lanka remains a top supplier of Ceylon cinnamon worldwide, helping ensure consistent quality for bulk recipes and experiments alike.

Practical kitchen uses

• Savory: gentle flavoring for stews, curries, braises, and lentil dishes.
• Sweet: fragrant additions to pastries, cookies, custards, and desserts.
• Beverages and infusions: simmer in teas, mulled drinks, hot chocolate, or spice blends.
• Infusion and flavor: break sticks to release aroma without leaving a powdery residue.

Storage and care

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to preserve aroma and color. When ready to use, snap or cut sticks to the desired length and add to your pot or batter for balanced flavor development. These cinnamon quills invite experimentation while keeping flavor approachable and versatile.
