Cinnamon Leaf Oil Ceylon
Latest Market Information on Cinnamon Leaf Oil Ceylon
Jul 25th, 2024
Production of cinnamon leaf oil typically begins in June, though heavy rainfall in Sri Lanka has delayed the distillation process this year. As of last week, rains in cultivation regions have subsided, and producers have reported that production will begin immediately. One of the largest concerns for the cinnamon leaf oil market at this point is shipping delays – many producers have reported delays upwards of 3+ weeks in securing new shipping vessels.
Description of Cinnamon Leaf Oil Ceylon
Cinnamon Leaf Oil Ceylon is derived from the dried leaves of the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree, also known as “true cinnamon” or “Ceylon cinnamon.” The tree is mainly cultivated in Sri Lanka, where local growers employ unique farming techniques that maximize the number of accessible leaves produced by each tree. The aroma and flavor of cinnamon leaf oil is mainly characterized by its high eugenol content. This imparts a sharp, fresh, spicy aroma that radiates warmth. In fragrance, cinnamon leaf oil can instantly add a warm-spicy texture to woody and sweet perfumes. In flavor, this warmth is often used to contrast the intensity of fruit, chocolate, or liquor profiles.
