These 15cm quills are from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, called true cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon, native to Sri Lanka. They have a soft, sweet woody perfume and gentle spiciness that is useful in many sweet and savoury Mexican dishes.
This is the cinnamon we use in our hot chocolate and sauces, we grind it fresh for each batch we make as we believe the aroma and flavour are second to none. It is also very useful as a stirrer for drinks - like our hot chocolates.
Approx 175 sticks.
Store in a cool dry place.
Instructions: lightly toast the quills in a dry pan until fragrant, then grind into a powder or use whole to infuse flavour into stews, sauces, puddings and drinks.
Packed in a factory that handles, nuts, sesame and peanuts.
