The True Essence of Vietnamese Cinnamon
This is Royal Cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi)—a rare heirloom variety that embodies the intense sweetness and captivating spiciness for which Vietnamese cinnamon has been revered for centuries. What you hold is genuinely exceptional, a spice that seldom reaches American shores in its authentic form.
A Story of Distinction
Historically known as Saigon cinnamon, this noble variety has suffered from widespread mislabeling in modern commerce. Today, most exports bearing the "Saigon cinnamon" name are actually Cinnamomum cassia—a different species entirely, though frequently confused with the genuine article.
Here's an intriguing detail: neither variety actually grows near Saigon. The name speaks to trade routes and colonial history rather than terroir, making authenticity all the more precious.
Flavor Profile
Royal Cinnamon delivers bold, unapologetic character—intensely sweet with a warming spiciness that commands attention. This is cinnamon for those who want their spice to sing, not whisper.
(Seeking something more nuanced? Our Cinnamon Verum offers citrusy complexity and delicate sophistication—a beautiful counterpoint to Royal Cinnamon's exuberant personality.)
Culinary Mastery
Royal Cinnamon shines wherever boldness is welcomed:
- Baking Excellence: Transforms pastries, spice cookies, and desserts with its pronounced warmth and sweetness
- Morning Rituals: Elevate yogurt bowls, hearty oatmeal, and energizing smoothies
- Beverage Alchemy: Brew alongside your finest coffee or tea for aromatic depth
