Historically the existence of cinnamon has attracted foreign invaders to the country.Cinnamomum Zeylanicum is a plant endemic to Sri Lanka. Cinnamon is the most demandingand important spice produced in Sri Lanka. In the ancient time cinnamon was used byEuropeans in preserving meat.
When it comes to the processing of cinnamon, it has always been a requirement to have the right skill set for it and above all, the talent. From removing the tender stems, removing the softouter bark to rubbing the stripped stem, it all requires the right skills and experience to bring out the best quality of the product. These skills have been preserved and passed from generation to generation, as a result of which Ceylon cinnamon has been consistent throughout in maintaining its high quality.
