Cinnamon as a spice had great medicinal value for the Egyptians, Romans, Greels and Indians for well over 3000 years. It grows well in tropical regions of the world and Sri Lanka is the leading and the major producer of Cinnamon and other countries like Seychelles, Madgascar and India. Most of the oil produced from Cinnamon is extracted from its leaves and a small quantity is extracted from its bark.

We source our Cinnamon from a few areas in Southern India namely Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Orissa. We utilize a method called Super-critical-fluid-extraction in which we use CO₂ gas as the agent to extract Cinnamon Oil from its bark.
