Cinnamon, Ceylon, “True”

Native to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and still grown there today, this is the preferred cinnamon in England and Mexico. We refer to this as “true” cinnamon because that is exactly what it is, the bark of a cinnamon tree. In the States, what we know as cinnamon is really the bark of a cassia tree.

In 1500 B.C. the Egyptian Queen Hatsheput used cinnamon in her perfumes.

We grind Ceylon “true” cinnamon in small batches weekly to ensure freshness. This is especially important with Ceylon because of its low volatile oil level (between 1-2%), which means it can lose its flavor rapidly after ground. The flavor of Ceylon “true” cinnamon is not quite as strong as cassia, but is sweeter and has a hint of citrus.

You will receive the product in plastic, sealable bags that will be labeled with the product name, uses, and ingredients if applicable. The bags meet FDA requirements for food applications. They are 100% recyclable and can be put in with all other plastics recycled at home.

“While I have purchased real cinnamon before, your Ceylon cinnamon was the freshest I have seen and the difference between it and the standard cassia was easy to smell and taste. It also made our luggage smell great!”
