Slofoodgroup Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks 12 oz — 5" True Ceylon Quills, Mild Floral Aroma

Slofoodgroup Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks are 12 ounces of authentic Cinnamomum verum quills—soft, pale brown 5" rolls offering a light, floral-citrus aroma ideal for cooking, baking, and fragrant blends.

Harvested and hand-rolled in Sri Lanka, these cinnamon quills are the variety known as "true" or Ceylon cinnamon rather than the darker, spicier cassia type. They arrive whole and intact so you can break, crumble, or grind them to release a delicate, subtly sweet scent that complements both sweet and savory recipes. Packed sealed for freshness and certified kosher by EarthKosher, these sticks emphasize a milder profile that supports other flavors instead of overpowering them.

How does Ceylon cinnamon taste and smell compared with common cinnamon?

Ceylon cinnamon is noticeably lighter, sweeter, and more floral than cassia. It lacks cassia's intense heat and peppery bite, making it a gentle background spice that enhances rather than dominates dishes.

• Flavor notes: delicate sweet, floral, with faint citrus hints
• Texture: soft, thin quills that break easily
• Color: pale tan to light brown, not dark reddish-brown
• Use: pairs well with fruits, dairy, and mild savory blends

What are the best ways to use these 5" cinnamon quills in the kitchen?

These quills work versatilely: crumble for a subtle dusting, grind for spice mixes, steep whole in liquids, or add to slow-cooked dishes for background warmth. Their mild profile makes them especially useful when you want cinnamon notes without aggressive spice.

• Grind for pastries, oatmeal, and spice rubs
• Steep whole in syrups, mulled drinks, or rice puddings
• Break into pieces to infuse yogurt, compotes, and chutneys
• Include in mild curry blends or savory braises for complexity

How should I store and prepare these quills to keep them freshest?

Keep the sealed package in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve aroma and prevent moisture uptake. Once opened, use an airtight container and avoid grinding more than you need to maintain peak fragrance.

• Storage: airtight jar, pantry shelf, away from heat
• Preparation: snap by hand or lightly crush before grinding
• Freshness tip: grind right before use for strongest aroma
• Portioning: break into measured pieces for recipes
