Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks - Perfect for Sweet and Savoury Dishes - Pure Stick Cinnamomum Verum from Sri LankaCinnamon Sticks 100g

The 'quills' were neatly packed and - properly stored - should retain their flavour for a long time.. The flavour is strong and there is no doubting the Sri Lanka provenance. I believe I have received value for price paid.

Good, special taste.

Usually when you open a pack of cinnamon the smell of cinnamon is noticeable straight away ,unfortunately didnt get it with this pack.When you break the stick then yes you do get cinnamon smell.Flavour wise it's alright.

Looks like a real cinnamon not cassia. Smells nice

I'd been so used to having cassia cinnamon that this tastes much milder. But it seems authentic and I'm happy with it. Thank you!

I have just bought this cinnamon after reading a lot of reviews, as many said that you can actually smell and taste it.The one I got has no smell or taste of cinnamon, and also it doesn't say ceylon cinnamon on the bag. I am not 100% sure that it's actually ceylon cinnamon.Does Amazon verify these things? No idea.Therefore, I wouldn't recommend this cinnamon.

I put about 2cm of one of these cinnamon sticks, scrunched up, into my coffee machine's grinder along with the beans every morning for my morning coffee.Out of curiosity, I tried chewing a small piece of this Real cinnamon to check the flavour.I found that it is very sweet and delicious to taste. I would not hesitate to sprinkle this eg on a dessert.I have been type2 diabetic and had heard of the medicinal properties of 'Real' or 'Ceylon' cinnamon for some years, but could never get my hands on any.Even healthfood stores only appear to do the 'Cassia' cinnamon, which can be harmful if you take too much.I am surprised to read the number of negative comments here.I can only assume these are from people used to, and who favour, the spicier Cassia variety of cinnamon, typically used by food manufacturers.With any spice, how you store them greatly impacts on how well they retain their flavour and aroma.A 6inch (150mm) x 4inch(100mm) airtight coffee bean storage jar imo would be ideal for keeping these Ceylon cinnamon quills in optimum condition the longest.Suffice to say I am delighted with my purchase, it is exactly what I wanted.

Does not smell of cinnamon, very brittle, doesnt seem like ceylon cinnamon, seems fake tree bark with a weird smell
