Description
Botanical Name: Cinnamomum verum (syn. Cinnamomum zeylanicum)
Cinnamon Quills (true verum), also known as True Cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon, is prized for its delicate aroma, light sweetness and refined character. Unlike stronger cassia varieties, Cinnamomum verum offers a subtle, rounded warmth that enhances dishes, making it the cinnamon of choice in traditional Sri Lankan, South Indian and European kitchens.
Harvested from the inner bark of young cinnamon trees, these slender quills are carefully dried and naturally curl as they mature.
In cooking, true cinnamon integrates seamlessly into curries, rice dishes and slow-simmered sauces, lending warmth without sharpness. In baking and desserts, it adds fragrance and balance to cakes, pastries, fruit compotes and custards. It is equally cherished in teas, chai blends and infused milk, where its softness creates a comforting, harmonious cup.
Sourced for clarity and freshness, Spice Zen’s true cinnamon is selected for its fine texture, clean aroma and naturally sweet profile, offering a refined expression of one of the world’s most loved spices.
Ceylon cinnamon contains naturally low levels of coumarin, it is preferred for daily use, teas, long infusions and regular culinary enjoyment.
Hand-selected and packed at our gluten-free Sydney facility, these quills retain their natural elegance, aroma and purity.
