Cinnamon from China or Ceylon, what are the differences?
Belonging to the Lauraceae family, we distinguish Ceylon Cinnamon from Casse Cinnamon, from China, being both botanically different. The main visible distinction is the structure of the cinnamon stick. If the stick of Chinese Cinnamon is robust and made up of a single layer of bark, the stick of Ceylon Cinnamon is easily crumbly composed of a multitude of thin layers rolled up together. Ceylon Cinnamon is more refined with floral notes and its flavor is slightly sweet. It is rarer to find. Indeed, the cinnamon usually marketed is that of China. Its fragrance is powerful and its flavor is rawer, hence the need to let its fragrance diffuse during cooking.
