History
This famously flavorful spice is the most popular form of cinnamon in use today and it is derived from the cinnamonum species of trees that have long been celebrated for both culinary and medicinal properties.
This beloved spice has even played a role as a spiritual relic, such as the Hebrew Bible's account of Moses being commanded to mix cinnamon into his holy anointing oil.
The unique processing and global transportation of this tantalizing bark has been practiced for thousands of years.
Unlike many spices made from the fruits or vegetation of plants, cinnamon differs in that it is made up of the inner bark of the tree.
The process for obtaining this product is quite unique, requiring the removal of the trees outer bark, followed by scraping the inner bark, by hand, into long narrow strips, and finally allowing it to dry.
The cassia sticks have a thick layer wrapped around itself and a dark reddish color differing from the Ceylon variety which is tan in color with paper thin layers.
