Ingredients
100 % Indonesian CinnamonBrew & Taste
Indonesian cinnamon has a sweet and savory aroma with a hint of spice, making it more intense than Ceylon cinnamon. The sticks are a golden brown to dark chestnut color, with a matt surface and a sturdy structure. This cinnamon isn’t suited for direct consumption – they’re best for cooking or baking, where they slowly release the silica oils contained within. Any dish you make with them will smell heavenly.
Origins
Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands and has been trading spices since ancient times. Cinnamon trees grow in the mountains, where the climate is humid and the volcanic soil is rich in minerals, giving the cinnamon its rich flavor. Processing follows traditional methods that local communities have practiced for centuries.
The bark is carefully cut from the branches, slowly dried, and rolled into sticks. This process requires experience and precision. In order to preserve the necessary aroma, the correct timing and pace of drying must be maintained.
Cinnamon used to be more valuable than gold. Only the wealthiest could afford it, while merchants traveled for weeks and months to obtain it. Arab merchants even kept the origin of the spice a secret to protect their profits. But it wasn't just about the flavor; cinnamon was also prized in ceremonies and given as a gift to kings themselves.
In India and the Middle East, almost no traditional dish can do without cinnamon to this day.
