Origin
Sri Lanka.
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), often referred to as "true cinnamon," is native to Sri Lanka, which remains the world's leading producer of this species. The C-5 Special grade consists of long, fine quills prized for their elegant appearance, delicate aroma and smooth flavor. Unlike Cassia cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon naturally contains much lower levels of coumarin, making it the preferred choice for premium culinary, beverage and gourmet applications. Orientalli® sources high-quality raw materials under strict quality standards to serve international spice markets.
