About Imperia Ceylon

Imperia Ceylon is a passionate endeavour rooted in the desire to introduce the rich, authentic flavours of Sri Lankan spices to the discerning palates of the Australian market. Founded by Ash Kulatunga, whose upbringing in the verdant landscapes of Kandy, Sri Lanka, instilled in him a deep appreciation for the natural bounty of the region, Imperia Ceylon stands as a testament to his lifelong connection with the essence of Ceylonese cuisine.

Drawing from his heritage and culinary expertise honed over two decades, Ash embarked on a journey to share the treasures of Sri Lankan spices with a global audience. Having carved a distinguished career as a professional chef in New Zealand and Australia, Ash’s passion for his homeland’s flavours remained steadfast, propelling him to establish Imperia Ceylon.

Central to Imperia Ceylon’s ethos is the commitment to sourcing only the finest, handpicked spices directly from local farmers in Sri Lanka. Eschewing mass-production techniques, each spice is meticulously selected and subjected to minimal processing, preserving its purity and unparalleled aroma. Whether it’s the warm, nuanced notes of Ceylon Cinnamon or the bold complexity of Sri Lankan curry blends, every product reflects the authentic essence of its origin.

Beyond their culinary prowess, Imperia Ceylon’s spices offer a holistic approach to well-being. Free from artificial additives and preservatives, they embody the natural goodness of Sri Lanka’s fertile soils and pristine ecosystems. With each spice, customers not only elevate their culinary creations but also partake in a journey of cultural exploration and sensory delight.

Under Ash Kulatunga’s stewardship, Imperia Ceylon emerges as more than a purveyor of spices; it becomes a conduit for fostering appreciation for Sri Lanka’s culinary heritage while supporting local farmers and sustainable agricultural practices. As owner and custodian of this culinary legacy, Ash invites patrons to savour the essence of Ceylonese cuisine and embark on a gastronomic odyssey like no other.
