The "True" Cinnamon with a Light, Complex Character
Often called "true" cinnamon, Ceylon Cinnamon is the prized, artisanal cousin of the more common Cassia. Sourced from the delicate inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, it is carefully ground to a fine, soft powder. Its flavour is remarkably complex—subtly sweet and warm without the intense, sharp heat of Cassia, with hints of citrus and a delicate, almost floral aroma.
This is the cinnamon of choice for discerning bakers and chefs who value nuance and sophistication. Its milder, sweeter profile makes it incredibly versatile for both sweet and savoury dishes, allowing other ingredients to shine while adding a warm, comforting background note.
Unlock a world of subtle, warm flavour:
Delicate Baking & Desserts: The perfect choice for crème brûlée, panna cotta, fruit compotes, and light cakes.
Beverages: Dusted on cappuccinos, hot chocolate, and chai tea for a gentle warmth.
Breakfast & Oats: Stirred into porridge, yogurt, and smoothie bowls for a sweet start to the day.
Fruit Dishes: A wonderful complement to stewed apples, poached pears, and banana bread.
Savoury Applications: Adds a subtle warmth to Moroccan tagines, curries, and rice pilafs.
How to Use: Add during cooking or as a finishing spice. Its fine texture blends seamlessly into batters and liquids.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its delicate aroma and flavour.
Ingredients: 100% Ground Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum).
