Ground Ceylon cinnamon, scientifically known as Cinnamomum zeylanicum. It is a 100% natural spice, produced in Spain from selected raw material from Sri Lanka. It stands out for its authentic flavour and aroma and is presented ground for easy use in different preparations. Cinnamon comes from an evergreen tree that grows in tropical maritime climates. In Sri Lanka it is harvested during the rainy seasons, from May to June and from October to November. The branches are cut and stripped of bark, and the bark is dried in the sun until the characteristic cinnamon sticks are formed. Drying is carried out carefully to preserve its flavour and aroma. In confectionery and baking it is used in cakes, biscuits, custards, puddings, pastries and rice pudding. It can also be added to sweet and savoury dishes, stews, punches, spiced wines and tea. Net weight: 40 grams. Two formats available: 40 g jar and 140 g kraft bag. May contain traces of nuts, sesame, celery and/or mustard. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
