CINNAMON Cinnamomum zeylanicum is derived from the island&＃039;s former name, Ceylon. Throughout the long history of the island, particularly from the 16th through the 18th centuries, cinnamon was the Holy Grail of foreign invaders, becoming the main article of trade for the great Dutch East India Company and over which long and costly wars were fought between Portugal and Holland. Today Sri Lanka is still the world&＃039;s leading source of cinnamon, producing not only four-fifths of the world output but its choicest grades as well. We serve you the best quality cinnamon at a very competitive price, that&＃039;s our policy we have been delivering all the time.
