Ceylon Cinnamon
Ceylon Cinnamon Exports from Sri Lanka | Acrema Holdings Premium Ceylon Cinnamon Exporters – Authentic Sri Lankan Spices Worldwide
Our Flagship Export
Ceylon cinnamon, often called “true cinnamon,” forms the heart of our export operations. Unlike the more common cassia cinnamon found in many markets, authentic Ceylon cinnamon is prized for its delicate, sweet flavor profile and numerous health benefits. Sourced from the coastal regions of Sri Lanka where the ideal climate and soil conditions create the perfect growing environment, our Ceylon cinnamon represents the gold standard of this precious spice.
We work closely with experienced cinnamon peelers and farmers who have perfected their craft over generations, ensuring that traditional harvesting and processing methods are maintained while meeting international quality standards. This attention to detail has made our Ceylon cinnamon a preferred choice for gourmet food manufacturers, specialty retailers, and culinary professionals around the world.
The Golden History of Ceylon Cinnamon Exports from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s cinnamon export industry spans over 2,000 years, making it one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious spice trading legacies. The island nation, once known as Ceylon, has been the global epicenter of authentic cinnamon production since ancient times. Arab traders, Portuguese colonizers, Dutch merchants, and British administrators all recognized the exceptional value of Ceylon cinnamon, establishing trade routes that connected Sri Lanka’s cinnamon gardens to markets across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond
The Portuguese first documented Sri Lanka’s cinnamon trade in the 16th century, calling it “canela” and establishing it as one of the most valuable commodities in international commerce. The Dutch East India Company later monopolized Ceylon cinnamon exports, recognizing its superior quality compared to cassia cinnamon from other regions. This historical foundation established Sri Lanka as the world’s premier source of true cinnamon, a reputation that continues to drive global demand today.
Why Ceylon Cinnamon Stands Apart in Global Markets
Ceylon cinnamon, scientifically known as Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, differs significantly from common cassia cinnamon found in most international markets. Recent research Journal published in the USA research foundations combined with other research universities, discover and proves that cinnamon grown in Sri Lankan soils gives remarkable DNA variances than of cinnamon verum grown in India, Madagascar, Indonesian islands and other Asian countries. Cinnamon is the only spice in the world gone through the most clinical and laboratory trials to prove and identify its uniqueness, health benefits, distinct flavour profile and culinary significance. Now a days many Asian cinnamon suppliers try to claim their cinnamon as true Ceylon cinnamon. And to conform that you can always request GI (geographical index certification) from your exporter to prove that it is true and coming only from Sri Lanka. The unique terroir of Sri Lanka’s southwestern coastal regions, combined with traditional harvesting methods passed down through generations, creates a product unmatched in quality and flavor profile.
Key distinguishing characteristics of authentic Ceylon cinnamon include its delicate, sweet taste without the sharp bite of cassia, its pale tan color, and its paper-thin bark layers that create the characteristic quill shape. These qualities make Ceylon cinnamon highly sought after by gourmet food manufacturers, premium spice retailers, cosmetic manufacturers, health-conscious consumers, and culinary professionals worldwide (use it as a Topping, for bakes, as a beverage, for desserts, and for savoury dishes).
The coumarin content in Ceylon cinnamon is significantly lower and most cases it is not found and negligible than cassia varieties, making it the preferred choice for health-conscious markets and pharmaceutical applications. This natural advantage has positioned Ceylon cinnamon as a premium product commanding higher prices in international markets.
