Aroma’J premium quality cinnamon, sourced directly from growers, is 100% natural with no added chemicals or preservatives.

Ceylon cinnamon contains the aromatic compound cinnamaldehyde, which is responsible for its warm, sweet flavour and delicate fragrance. Unlike cassia varieties, Ceylon cinnamon contains only trace amounts of coumarin, making it a preferred choice for regular culinary use. The essential oils retained in the thin, layered quills also contain other beneficial compounds like eugenol and linalool, contributing to its complex aroma profile. Quality is judged by the tightness and thinness of the quills, the lightness of colour, and the intensity of its sweet, floral fragrance. Proper storage in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture is essential to preserve its delicate volatile oils and prevent loss of aroma.

Ceylon Cinnamon

A large proportion of the total usage of cinnamon is for culinary purposes. Many cultures use Ceylon cinnamon as a seasoning for savory and sweet foods. It can be bought as whole sticks (or quills), and used to flavour rice and meat dishes. The essential oil extracted from the dried inner bark of the cinnamon plant has long been used as a flavouring agent in foods, beverages, candies, and chewing gums. Cinnamon is used in cooking as either entire quills (or broken pieces), or as the dried ground spice. Ground cinnamon is used in baked dishes, with fruits, and in confections. It is used to spice mulled wines, creams and syrups in Europe. It’s warm, comforting flavour means it is often associated with dishes enjoyed in the colder months, like pumpkin pie, spiced lattes and mulled wine, but it can be used in a wide variety of recipes, from soups and stews to breakfast cereals and alcoholic drinks. Cinnamon is predominant in the spice blends of the East and Southeast Asia, and is a component of Chinese five spice powder (along with star anise, cloves, pepper, and fennel).

About Product

The thin, layered quills — tightly rolled, light in colour, and rich with volatile oils — deliver a warm, sweet flavour and delicate floral fragrance, with only trace coumarin. Originating from the true cinnamon tree and hand-harvested by skilled growers, Aroma’J Ceylon cinnamon offers precision, purity, and complexity in every curl.

Colour and fragrance: The colour of cinnamon is a uniform light brown to pale tan. A cinnamon quill is made of many layers of paper-thin bark, rolled like a small cigar. Cinnamon quills are ground to an aromatic powder, that is a similar colour to the quills, and has a very fine dusty texture. Ground cinnamon quills are the best grade of cinnamon to use in delicately flavoured dishes where an overly dominant cinnamon taste is not required. The fragrance is sweet, perfumed, warm and pleasantly woody.
