Cassia Cinnamon is the standard cinnamon that is found in most American kitchens. It is grown in Indonesia and China and there are several types of cassia cinnamon the Batavia which is a thin quill cinnamon and Korintje (or Korintji as it is also known) which is a thicker quill cinnamon. Korintje cinnamon comes from a higher altitude than the Batavian and features a slightly more intense reddish-brown color and sharper cinnamon flavor. It is also considered the better quality cinnamon between the two.
We stock the highest quality Korintje cinnamon available at A grade with 3% cinnamon oil (grocery stores usually carry the lower grade B or C with a lower cinnamon oil content). Grade A cinnamon provides the highest oil content of all the cinnamons while also delivering the most intense flavor and aroma. Grade A harvested quills must be one meter long and taken from the main trunk of the tree (not the branch).
We offer an excellent selection of some of the finest cinnamons including Cassia Cinnamon Sticks 2.75", our top selling Organic Saigon Cinnamon Powder with a 5% cinnamon oil content, Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks 3", Cassia Cinnamon Sticks 10" and also several organics - Organic Korintje Cinnamon Powder and Organic Cassia Cinnamon Sticks 2.75".
