Our Ceylon cinnamon has a pleasantly sweet, warm and aromatic taste, but less intense and spicy than Cassia cinnamon. It is particularly suitable for spicing up hot drinks, smoothies, desserts but will also give a rich taste to meat and vegetable dishes. It pairs well with vanilla and cloves, but also with coriander, cardamom and nutmeg. The ribbons of cinnamon bark curl during drying, producing the famous cinnamon sticks. The older the bark, the more intense the aroma of the sticks. Ceylon cinnamon has been recognized for millennia as an extremely valuable spice, cinnamon producers on the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) have been plundered for centuries because of this spice. In the food industry, Chinese cinnamon (from the more abundant Cassia tree) is the one mainly used, but it can have harmful side effects on health.
