cinnamon sticks, cassia, 12 inch

Our 12-inch Cassia Cinnamon Sticks come from the branches of a small evergreen tree native to the lush landscapes of Assam and northern Burma, also known as Chinese cinnamon. Cassia Cinnamon stands out for its robustness, with a pronounced bitter and astringent profile distinguishing it from the milder Ceylon cinnamon. Its potent aroma and rich flavor make it an indispensable ingredient for chefs looking to infuse their dishes with a compelling astringent note and a subtly intense, yet equally captivating fragrance.
