Ceylon Cinnamon Bark Oil

Cinnamon bark oil comes from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, the true cinnamon tree native to Sri Lanka. The Department of Cinnamon Development says the raw materials are pieces of cinnamon quills (quillings), featherings and chips. The Export Development Board says the oil is produced by steam distilling broken cinnamon sticks. The Department of Export Agriculture names cinnamaldehyde as the main chemical in bark oil. The Export Development Board describes the oil as reddish-brown with a robust, perfume-like aroma. The Department of Cinnamon Development classes bark oil by cinnamaldehyde content: Superior Grade above 60%, Special Grade 55-60%, Average Grade 45-54% and Ordinary Grade 30-44% by weight. Typical uses are flavouring confectionery and beverages, and perfumes. This oil is listed as available on request, and packaging is available on request.
