A Legacy of 40 Years

From Local Roots to a Global Home at Sea

Our four decades of expertise allow us to understand that the right flavor at the right moment is a vital source of motivation. This deep-rooted logistical network enables us to source the world’s most iconic ingredients directly from their origins. Whether it is a specialized technical part or the aromatic warmth of a tropical island, AVS brings the world’s finest standards to your deck—continuing our journey through the culinary heritage of Sri Lanka.

The Sweet Soul of Colombo

In the lush, sun-soaked landscapes of Sri Lanka, the 'True Cinnamon' (Cinnamomum Verum) grows as a precious gift to global gastronomy. Producing nearly 90% of the world's authentic cinnamon, the Colombo region offers a spice that is worlds apart from the common, harsh Cassia variety. Prized for its paper-thin layers and delicate, sweet aroma, Ceylon Cinnamon provides a sophisticated and smooth flavor profile that defines the heart of a real curry or a masterfully crafted dessert.

Procured From Heritage, Not Just Ordered

At AVS Global Ship Supply, our 40-year global reach means we do not simply supply spices; we deliver the authentic essence of the Indian Ocean. We recognize that for a crew navigating the vast maritime routes, the comforting and warm scent of genuine cinnamon provides a powerful sensory connection to the shore. Leveraging our fast, efficient, and reliable supply chain, we procure this 'true spice' directly from its origin, ensuring the 'Home at Sea' experience remains flavorful, authentic, and deeply soul-warming.
