Ceylon cinnamon
The essential spice for sweet and savoury recipes
Cinnamon, one of the world's oldest spices, comes from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum plant, peeled off the shrub in the rainy season and dried. The bark then coils to form sticks.
Our cinnamon is fair-trade, and comes from small-scale producers' associations in Sri Lanka.
Spice composition
- Ceylon cinnamon*
*From organic farming.
Suggestions
Classic: desserts, rice pudding, tajines, jams and pancakes
More original: there's nothing like a pinch of cinnamon to liven up mashed potatoes or squash.
Organic farming
We have always offered organically grown teas and herbal teas, and used natural, organic flavours. We go even further, demanding that our suppliers use certified organic flavor carriers and solvents. Certified since 1994.
Fair trade
