Cassia, or Korintje Style, cinnamon is the warm, familiar cinnamon most people know from baking and breakfast spices. It has a deep, cozy flavor with natural sweetness and a rich aromatic heat that holds up well during cooking. This organic ground bark blends smoothly into oatmeal, cookies, cinnamon rolls, hot chocolate, and other recipes that call for a pronounced cinnamon note.
Cassia comes from thicker, sturdier bark than Ceylon, giving it a darker color and a stronger flavor. It is the traditional choice across the United States and much of Asia for recipes that rely on cinnamon as a main flavor.
Why choose cassia: Choose this version when you want that stands out in baked goods and hearty recipes.
How it compares to our Sweet Cinnamon (Ceylon): Ceylon cinnamon is lighter, more aromatic, and has a bright, spicy snap. Cassia cinnamon is deeper, richer, and more warming with the familiar flavor most people expect in traditional recipes.
If you prefer a cleaner, brighter cinnamon for teas or delicate desserts, try our Sweet Cinnamon (Ceylon)
