  • Tasting Notes:
    Cinnamon has a warm, agreeably sweet, woody aroma that is delicate yet intense; the taste is fragrant and warm with hints of clove and citrus.
  • The presence of eugenol in the essential oil distinguishes cinnamon from cassia, giving it the note of clove.
  • Could be used as a Syrup
  • Combines well with:
    almonds, apples, apricots, chocolate, coffee, pears, bananas
