Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks, whole, 8 cm

Product description

Biova organic Ceylon cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka and is offered as light-coloured cinnamon sticks, approx. 8 cm long, in broken-stick quality. The finely layered inner bark develops a warm, elegantly sweet aroma when heated, blending harmoniously into a wide range of dishes and drinks.

Biova’s careful batch selection ensures consistent quality, clean fracture surfaces and reliable performance in professional recipes. As whole sticks, the essential oils remain protected for a long time and only release their full aroma during cooking or brewing.

In the kitchen, the cinnamon sticks are extremely versatile – from hot drinks and desserts through to aromatic curries and rice dishes. After simmering, the sticks can be removed easily, allowing you to dose the aroma of the organic Ceylon cinnamon precisely.

Origin

The cinnamon sticks come from Sri Lanka, the classic growing region for true Ceylon cinnamon. The tropical climate with high humidity and stable temperatures supports a particularly fine, well-balanced aroma profile.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The cinnamon trees grow mainly in mixed plantations and are pruned regularly to encourage young, aromatic shoots. The thin inner bark is removed by hand, layered, pushed into one another and slowly dried to form the typical multi-layered quills of around 8 cm in length.

Special features

As whole sticks in broken / whole quality, the essential oils are preserved for a long time and are only released when the dish or drink is heated. Biova’s bulk and retail pack options allow cost-efficient use for higher demand, for example in foodservice, artisan production or for stocking up.

Differences in origin and processing

Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka is noticeably milder and more delicate than cassia cinnamon from other growing regions. The labour-intensive hand processing and the multi-layered structure of the sticks create a complex aroma and a longer shelf life compared with ground cinnamon.

Taste & aroma

The cinnamon sticks smell warm, sweet and slightly floral, without dominant heat. On the palate they show a gentle sweetness with subtle spice that integrates discreetly into both sweet and savoury dishes.

Suggested uses

• Flavouring mulled wine, punch, tea and other hot drinks
• For desserts, compote, rice pudding, baked goods and winter sweets
• As a spice in curries, stews, rice dishes and Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine
