Ceylon cinnamon bark – the fine, mild variety of true cinnamon
- True Ceylon cinnamon from Sri Lanka – fine, mild, noticeably more aromatic than Cassia.
- Low in coumarin content – suitable for regular use.
- Versatile in sweet and savoury – pastries, mulled wine, lamb, red cabbage, pumpkin.
- Workshop quality – carefully selected by Altes Gewürzamt.
Ceylon cinnamon bark is true cinnamon in the best sense: finely sweetish, lightly warm and with a delicate complexity that Cassia cinnamon does not reach. The thin, multiply rolled bark pieces come from Cinnamomum verum, the cinnamon tree from Sri Lanka.
The cinnamon barks can be cooked along directly in the pot, infused in hot drinks or ground in a mortar after cooling. They release their aromas slowly and evenly – ideal for all dishes in which cinnamon should act as a background note without dominating.
What is Ceylon cinnamon bark suitable for?
Ceylon cinnamon bark is an extraordinarily versatile spice: in sweet cooking it refines compotes, apple dishes, Christmas pastries, rice pudding, riz Casimir and desserts of all kinds. In mulled wine, chai, cocoa or flavoured teas it gives an unmistakable warmth.
In savoury cooking, too, the Ceylon cinnamon bark unfolds wonderfully: Moroccan lamb tagine, Oriental lentil soups, red cabbage, pumpkin dishes, braised poultry and beef ragouts benefit from its gentle warmth.
Tips for use in the kitchen
- Cook along: simply put the cinnamon bark in the pot and remove it after cooking.
- Hot drinks: infuse in mulled wine, chai or cocoa, let steep for 10–15 min.
- Grinding: crush dry cinnamon bark in a mortar or in the spice mill.
- Baking: grind fresh for cinnamon pastries – more intense than ground Cassia cinnamon.
