Ceylon Cinnamon, also known as True Cinnamon, is the finest cinnamon across the Seven Seas. Derived from the plant Cinnamomum zeylancium, it is only native to Sri Lanka.
The quality and the flavour of Ceylon Cinnamon have attracted many countries and cultures making Sri Lanka the largest True Cinnamon exporter in the world and the Ceylon Cinnamon industry is mainly governed by small and medium holders and regional plantation companies.
Tropical Island Commodities is a renowned Ceylon cinnamon manufacturer and supplier offering a range of cinnamon product variants including Cinnamon sticks and Cinnamon quills, off cuts, powder, chips and oil in grades like C, H1, M4, and Alba.
Peeling and processing Ceylon Cinnamon sticks is a method unique to Sri Lanka. The bark is gently peeled away by hand using only indigenous tools that were used for many centuries. Peeling takes place just when the bark is turning brown, and the peeled outer bark is then dried and rolled into long cigar-like sticks which are cut into shorter quills using a sharp knife.
Most of our premium quality cinnamon is sourced from local farmers and regional plantation companies in Sri Lanka and is exported around the world to countries including the USA, Canada, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.
