The taste of our cinnamon is warm, sweet and rich with a delicious flavor.
Cinnamon has been one of the most popular spices in the world since the dawn of time. The use of cinnamon appears in historical documents dating back to at least 1700 BC in ancient Egypt. Arab spice traders supplied cinnamon to the ancient Romans, Greeks and Hebrews. They used it as a culinary spice, in sweets, pastries, perfumes, cosmetics, drinks etc. European explorers considered cinnamon as the most sought-after spice of the 15th and 16th centuries, and in the 17th century it was considered a common cooking spice.
