Cassia Cinnamon is sweet and intensely warm, with a pungency that embraces you before you even have a chance to taste it. Our Cassia Cinnamon Sticks are woodsy, musty, a little earthy, but have an ethereal perfume that elevates its flavor and belies their origins as a piece of tree bark. Called quills when they dry and curl into themselves, Cassia Cinnamon Sticks are harvested from the outer bark of the Cinnamomum cassiatree. The outer bark produces the highest quality quill, with an essential oil content of approximately 2.5% by weight. The essential oil is the architect behind Cassia Cinnamon’s distinctive fragrance and flavor.
With its enticing flavor and ambrosial fragrance, cinnamon has always been a desirable commodity.
Cassia Cinnamon Sticks have an intense flavor that is well-suited for the flavorful and spice heavy dishes in Indian cuisine. Toast sticks first to draw out essential oils and add to curries, or go Middle Eastern and add to tagines. Make a Vietnamese pho soup, or savory Mexican albondigas and spike the ingredients in the pot with Cassia Cinnamon Sticks. Add to mulled ciders or wines to add a sense of cozy warmth to cold-weather beverages. Dip Cassia Cinnamon Sticks in chocolate and use them to stir coffee. These sticks are sturdy and resistant to breaking, so use them to decorate wreaths and garlands for the holidays.
Cinnamon sticks are roughly 2.75 inches long.
Our Cassia Cinnamon Sticks may come from either Indonesia or India, depending on product availability.
This product is certified kosher.
