The aroma of our Ceylon cinnamon (called canela in Mexican Cuisine)
is simply heavenly.This is true cinnamon imported from Ceylon.


It delivers a perfumed, complex aroma that will
reward your palette with a nuanced, slightly sweet
flavor profile.

During the glory days of the Roman Empire,
cinnamon was the ultimate status symbol.
Crafty Arab traders knew the Romans penchant for luxury
and managed to convinced the Romans that cinnamon was
impossible to find. All along the old spice
routes, these traders would tell spell binding stories of
heroic cinnamon gathers climbing great heights to snatch
the cinnamon from the nest of cliff dwelling birds, while
their industrious children gathered the invaluable sticks
the careless birds had dropped on the sand below. 

Once the Romans learned the secret of navigating the yearly
monsoons to the Orient, the real source of the spice was revealed
and the precious monopoly broken.

Today, you can enjoy some of the luxury of the ancient
world with this most beloved of all our specialty spices,
