Cassia has a bigger more intense and singular flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there's the less common type called Ceylon cinnamon. The special stuff. The crème de la cinnamon. Some call it true cinnamon or Mexican cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeylon cinnamon is the one that many bakers and chefs seek out. It's the variety we've sourced for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what's the difference?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are harvested from the inner bark of evergreen trees. But the two varieties are grown in different countries and have different chemical compounds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen there's the taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSomeone said that tasting Ceylon cinnamon is like listening to your favorite vinyl record on a $4,000 stereo system, while Cassia cinnamon is like listening to an mp3 version \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein the car\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Ceylon is ideal for pastries, cakes, drinks, soups, and desserts. It charms without overpowering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBTW, if you prefer to grind your cinnamon fresh, we also offer \u003ca title=\"Cinnamon Ceylon Bark True\" href=\"\/products\/cinnamon-ceylon-bark-true\"\u003eCeylon cinnamon bark\u003c\/a\u003e as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy partner on the ground in India, Mr. Divakar, sources our Ceylon cinnamon from a storied 250-year-old cinnamon estate in his hometown.
