Explore our Cinnamons

Which spice comes from tree bark, can take 20 years to mature and has been used in cooking for millennia? It's cinnamon!

Cinnamon is a beloved spice and a cornerstone of many cuisines, but most people have no idea how it's grown or how much diversity there is within the cinnamon category.

The genus Cinnamomum includes at least 4 different commercially cultivated species, each with its own unique flavor, agricultural process and harvest techniques.

People are often surprised to hear that ground cinnamon has the strongest flavor. That's because it's made with heavy pieces of old cinnamon bark, which have more concentrated flavor but are too thick to be rolled into cinnamon sticks.
