Treasured Since 2,000 B.C.
The Old Testament mentions this ancient spice, once considered more precious than gold, prompted numerous expeditions. In 1518, traders from Portugal discovered cinnamon in Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and gained control over several island kingdoms.
In 1638, the Dutch captured Ceylon and established a system of cultivation that still exists today. The cultivation process continuously crops the cinnamon tree shoots, resulting in a dense bush with thin branches.
We peel and sun-dry the inner bark of these branches during harvest to produce the prized cinnamon quills, which offer numerous health benefits.
We are committed to maintaining the values and traditions laid down by our forefathers, and at the same time, we are open to embracing modern market trends and technologies to ensure the longevity of the business.
