Dilmah Finest Ceylon Cinnamon – Pure Cinnamon Continental Grade Quills 50g

Dilmah Finest Ceylon Cinnamon quills bring the fragrance and refined flavour of authentic Sri Lankan cinnamon to everyday cooking. This 50g pack contains pure Ceylon cinnamon in PGI Continental Grade 5 quills, selected for convenient grating, garnishing and infusing. Packed at origin in Sri Lanka, the whole quills are a versatile choice for home cooks, bakers and anyone who prefers a delicate cinnamon character rather than an overpowering spice note.

Why choose Dilmah Finest Ceylon Cinnamon?

Ceylon cinnamon is valued for its elegant aroma, gentle warmth and naturally sweet flavour profile. Keeping the spice in whole-quill form helps preserve its fragrance until you are ready to use it. Dilmah identifies these quills as PGI Continental Grade 5, and the pack is designed for both everyday recipes and special presentations.

• Pure ingredient: 100% Ceylon cinnamon with no listed blends or flavourings.
• Sri Lankan origin: sourced and packed in the home of true Ceylon cinnamon.
• Whole quills: easy to steep, simmer, garnish or grate as required.
• Practical pack size: 50g for cooking, baking and beverage preparation.
• Distinctive grade: labelled PGI Continental Grade 5 by Dilmah.

Flavour, aroma and culinary character

Dilmah Finest Ceylon Cinnamon offers a polished spice profile with subtle sweetness, gentle citrus-like brightness and a warm aroma. Whole quills release their character gradually, which makes them useful when you want controlled flavour in a recipe. Add a quill early for a soft infusion, or grate a small amount at the end when you want a fresh aromatic finish.

The balanced taste works well in sweet and savoury cooking. It can complement fruit, chocolate, custards and baked goods while also adding depth to curries, rice dishes, stews and sauces. Because the quills are intact, you can remove them easily after simmering.

How to use Ceylon cinnamon quills

Use a whole quill to infuse tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk, cider or a spiced syrup. For cooking, place a quill in rice, curry, stew or poaching liquid and remove it before serving. For desserts and breakfast dishes, finely grate the quill over fruit, porridge, yoghurt, cakes or puddings. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

Simple serving ideas

• Steep one quill with black tea or herbal ingredients for a fragrant warm drink.
• Simmer with rice, pilaf or curry for a gentle Sri Lankan spice note.
• Grate over baked apples, oatmeal, French toast or chocolate desserts.
• Add to homemade syrups, preserves or mulled drinks.
• Use as an aromatic garnish for a dessert or beverage presentation.
