Vietnam / Cinnamomum cassia

Cassia Vietnamese cinnamon, also known as Saigon cinnamon, is a type of cassia cinnamon renowned for its strong, sweet, and spicy flavour profile. Harvested from the bark of trees in Vietnam, this cinnamon variant is particularly high in cinnamaldehyde, the compound responsible for its intense aroma and taste. Its robust and slightly peppery flavour makes it a favourite in both sweet and savoury dishes, from baked goods and desserts to curries and marinades.

The distinctiveness of Cassia Vietnamese cinnamon lies in its potency and aromatic richness, which can transform ordinary recipes into extraordinary culinary experiences.
