This cinnamons has a high 3 - 4% natural oil and is appreciated for its rich, sweet yet slightly spicy flavor.
The reason we stock four types of cinnamon is to suit your personal preference. In our shop, we like to give our customers tastes of each so they can decide. My husband tends to glare at me when I recommend this as my personal favorite. (The legend of the Vietnam cassia is a powerful one). Recently I showed him a blind taste test in one of the best cooking magazines. What topped the list? You guessed it, the CHINA cinnamon. (While he still does not agree with me, at least the glaring has ceased)! It is a wonderful all-around baking cinnamon; great for spice cakes, any type of pie (from peach or apple to sweet potato), sticky buns, linzertortes, pumpkin bread, cheesecake, apple strudel, baklava. Sprinkle on top of French toast, oatmeal or hot cocoa.
Had I but a penny in the world, thou shouldst have it for gingerbread.
