Ceylon Cinnamon
The World's Finest True Cinnamon
Introduction
Known as the “True Cinnamon,” Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is a treasured spice native to the tropical island of Sri Lanka, renowned for its delicate flavor, health benefits, and rich heritage. Unlike the more common Cassia variety, Ceylon Cinnamon is prized for its mild aroma, sweet taste, and low coumarin content, making it the preferred choice for culinary and medicinal use worldwide.
At ASINDU CEYLON EXPORTERS (PRIVATE) LIMITED, we take pride in sourcing and exporting the finest Ceylon Cinnamon directly from the heart of Sri Lanka. Our cinnamon is harvested with care, processed using traditional methods, and packed to preserve its natural purity and quality.
Whether you’re a gourmet chef, a health-conscious consumer, or a global distributor, our Ceylon Cinnamon offers an authentic taste of Sri Lanka’s spice legacy.
The Legacy of Ceylon Cinnamon
Ceylon Cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka, has been valued for thousands of years for its unique aroma and health benefits. Ancient civilizations used it in medicine, rituals, and trade. Arab merchants introduced it to Europe, where it became a luxury spice. During colonial times, the Portuguese, Dutch, and British controlled its trade and cultivation. Today, Sri Lanka remains the world’s leading producer of true cinnamon, continuing a proud legacy of quality and tradition.
