Ceylon Cinnamon - the noble spice

Ceylon cinnamon [Latin: Cinnamomum verum] or true cinnamon is the most precious variety of cinnamon. Although there are other varieties available on the market, including Cinnamomum cassia, or Chinese cinnamon, which is the most common (due to its low price), it is Ceylon cinnamon that is characterized by superior quality. According to literature, cinnamon is probably one of the oldest spices known to humanity. Archaeologists confirm that it was known as early as 4000 BC, and the first references to this spice were found in a Chinese herbal book dating back to 2700 BC. Ceylon cinnamon originates from two exceptionally sunny islands: Ceylon and Madagascar. The spice is extracted from the bark of the Ceylon cinnamon tree, an evergreen tree that can reach up to 10 meters tall.

Ceylon cinnamon in cooking

Thanks to its unique aroma, Ceylon cinnamon is an essential ingredient in many dishes. We are convinced that cinnamon is associated, at any age, with the Christmas season, aromatic pastries, and a warm atmosphere in the home. This is the primary use of cinnamon: it enriches the taste of many sweet desserts, cakes, or baked apples. It owes its characteristic sweet and spicy flavor and aroma to the cinnamon oil content, which is also widely used on its own. It should be noted that cinnamon (in its various varieties) is the only spice in the world obtained from the bark of the plant which, after preliminary processing, is sun-dried and sold in powder or cinnamon stick form. While in European cuisine cinnamon is associated with sweets, in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine it is commonly used in savory and spicy dishes.

Tips

• Store it in airtight and resealable containers. With this in mind, each of our spice bags is equipped with a zipper closure to facilitate closing and opening. In the case of Ceylon cinnamon in ordinary aluminum foil, not only will it lose its beautiful aroma very quickly after opening, but it can also easily spill out of the packaging, for example in a drawer or cupboard. We care about your comfort!
• To release the full flavor and aroma of Ceylon cinnamon and preserve its properties as much as possible, it is best to add it to dishes at the very end of cooking.
