22 cm Ceylon cinnamon sticks selected by Thiercelin, with the delicate and sweet fragrance characteristic of genuine Ceylon cinnamon.
Finer and more fragile than cassia (common cinnamon), Ceylon cinnamon consists of thin layers of bark rolled into regular sticks. It develops sweet, warm, and slightly lemony notes, far less acrid than those of Chinese cinnamon.
In cooking, it is very versatile:
- Steeped in your hot drinks: chocolate, spiced milk, mulled wine, or tea.
- In desserts: compotes, creams, rice pudding, baked apples or pears, pastries.
- In savory dishes: tagines, curries, stews, marinades, lamb or poultry dishes.
- Added whole to a sauce or broth, then removed before serving.
Usage tip: use the whole stick for steeping, or grind it into powder to incorporate it directly into your preparations.
Packaging : bag.
Understanding the Best Before Date
The best before date, or minimum durability date, corresponds to the wording "Best before...". It indicates the period during which the product retains its qualities, especially its taste and aromas. This is not a use-by date (UFD): an expired best before date does not automatically mean that the product must be thrown away, provided that the packaging is intact and that the storage conditions have been respected. However, spices can lose their aromatic intensity over time.
