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. We grind both Vietnamese Saigon cassia cinnamon and 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.

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

We also carry 5 inch, Ceylon soft cinnamon sticks for those of you who require it whole or just want to grind your own. We also carry an organic Ceylon cinnamon. The flavor of Ceylon “true” cinnamon is not quite as strong as cassia, but is sweeter and has a hint of citrus. We usually don’t suggest buying less; but in this case, buy what you think you’ll use only in the immediate future and store it in a air tight jar to keep it longer.
