Organic Ceylon cinnamon sticks, whole, approx. 8 cm, bulk

Product description

Biova organic Ceylon cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka and is supplied as light-coloured sticks around 8 cm long. The multi-layered, rolled inner bark develops a warm, elegantly sweet aroma when heated, blending harmoniously into a wide range of dishes and drinks.

Supplied as chunks or whole sticks in bulk quality, it is ideal for foodservice, artisan producers and well-stocked pantries alike. Biova’s careful selection of batches ensures consistent quality and reliable performance in professional recipes.

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, so you benefit from the full flavour without over-seasoning your food.

Origin

The cinnamon sticks come from Sri Lanka, the classic growing region for true Ceylon cinnamon. The tropical climate with high humidity and even 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.

Key features

As whole sticks, the essential oils remain protected for a long time and are only released when heated in a dish or drink. Biova’s bulk / retail variants allow cost-effective use where larger quantities are needed, while the uniform size as chunks / whole sticks supports reproducible results in processing.

Origin and processing differences

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 works equally well in 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
