Our Process
At Pride Rock Partners, we uphold the highest standards in Cinnamon Leaf Oil extraction, ensuring that every step is conducted with precision, sustainability, and respect for nature. Our facility, located near a historic monastery, operates with a zero-disturbance policy, blending seamlessly with the serene environment while maintaining the purity and authenticity of our oil.
Step 1:
Sustainable Sourcing & Careful Handling
Our journey begins in the lush cinnamon plantations of Kalutara District, where we carefully hand-select fresh cinnamon leaves from mature Cinnamomum zeylanicum trees. These leaves are transported under strict hygiene conditions and stored in a shaded, well-ventilated area to preserve their natural essence.
We use the time-tested method of steam distillation to extract the finest Cinnamon Leaf Oil while maintaining environmental integrity.
- Boiler Preparation – Firewood is loaded into the boiler chamber, generating steam to drive the extraction process. The steam pressure and temperature are meticulously monitored to optimize oil yield.
- Leaf Loading into the Distillation Chamber – Clean cinnamon leaves are carefully arranged in the distillation chamber, ensuring maximum steam exposure without compacting the material.
- Steam Infusion & Oil Release – Steam passes through the leaves, breaking down the cell walls and releasing the essential oil into a condensation unit.
Step 2:
Steam Distillation – Traditional Expertise Meets Modern Efficiency
Step 3:
Oil & Hydrosol Separation – Precision & Purity
Once condensed, the cinnamon leaf oil and hydrosol (aromatic water) naturally separate due to their density differences.
- The lighter hydrosol floats on top, while the heavier Cinnamon Leaf Oil settles at the bottom.
- The hydrosol is carefully skimmed off, leaving behind pure cinnamon oil.
- The extracted oil is then filtered using fine mesh or cheesecloth to remove any remaining impurities.
To maintain the highest standards, our Cinnamon Leaf Oil undergoes rigorous quality checks:
- Filtration & Density Testing – We ensure that our oil meets the ideal density range of 1.037–1.053 g/mL.
- Batch Labeling & Traceability – Each container is labeled with a unique batch number, allowing full traceability from farm to bottle.
- Eco-Friendly Storage – The oil is stored in clean, airtight glass bottles or HDPE drums to preserve its natural aroma and potency.
