Ceylon Cinnamon Quills

Sri Lankan cinnamon is subtle yet citrusy, giving it a starring role with poached spiced fruits such as pears and peaches. Also available in Ground Ceylon Cinnamon.

Details

Ceylon cinnamon, or true cinnamon, is botanically different from cassia cinnamon. Ceylon has a more subtle flavor than its cassia cousins due to its lower volatile oil content. The people of Europe and Mexico prefer this cinnamon, which is often used for poaching spiced stone fruits, in pickling recipes, and for brewing hot cocoa. Ceylon cinnamon’s light and understated flavor makes it perfect for dishes that don’t have other flavors competing for the foreground. These quills are great in dishes like cinnamon ice cream, Dutch pears, custard, steamed puddings, stewed rhubarb, dessert syrups, and mixed into whipped cream.You can also use this cinnamon in savory dishes like Indian curries, aromatic rice, or braised pork shoulder. 1 weighted ounce is 3-4 whole sticks or about 1/4 cup of ground cinnamon. Ingredients: Cinnamon.

fresher than most, but still a bit weak

I've been looking for a good source of Ceylon cinnamon quills since Cinnamon Hill went out of business. Most of the Ceylon cinnamon quills available commercially are completely dead sawdust; at least these have a decent flavor to them, but still not nearly as bright and flavor packed as the best Ceylon cinnamon quills I've had.

Such high quality!

I'm using these to infuse cinnamon flavor into homemade apple sauce (our trees produced a ton of apples this year), and I'm very impressed by the freshness and quality of the quills. I will definitely purchase again.

Cinnamon review

Love it! Great flavor ❤️

No More Cassia!

This is the REAL Cinnamon, soft enough to chew or grind, gives you mild "high" if you take enough.

Did not like

Love cinnamon & have upgraded from my local grocery store to the spice house spices, all of which are def superior. But, these quills didn’t work for me. They splinter so easily that it’s hard & time consuming to pick them out of dishes, soups, or tea, etc. Also, it’s strange but I can just barely taste the cinnamon, even when I use one in a super hot drink. Very disappointed- seems they might be old or something? Never had that prob w/ grocery quills or “sticks.”
