Cinnamon
The flavours of cassia and cinnamon are subtly different – both contain a volatile oil giving the warm, sweet flavour we associate with cinnamon but cassia (from Vietnam or Indonesia) contains more of this oil so is hotter and stronger. Cinnamon is incredibly versatile and lends itself well to both sweet and savoury dishes. True Sri Lankan cinnamon - despite containing less of this oil - also contains eugenol which gives different flavour notes of clove and citrus.

Excellent range of products with very quick delivery. I have used The Delivery on numerous occasions and would recommend them to everyone.
As usual a very speedy delivery of all the items. A great company to deal with. The products themselves are very good and well packaged.
This cinnamon is so tasty I can eat it as if it was candy. Every time a piece breaks off when grating a stick I end up chewing on it.
Great service, added extras and top quality spices!

They are great value for money too and I would recommend them to anyone.

Beautiful flavour. Perfect for my use in a lamb curry.
The spices are all so fresh and aromatic: it made my Christmas cooking extra enjoyable to be using them, and the cakes extra delicious ( I think/hope). Everything drives so quickly too. I recommend them and send presents of their products all the time.

I have always found your spices to be of good quality and the kits work very well. My one grumble is that you have moved to supplying only very small quantities at a relatively much higher price. I therefore buy things I want in quantity like black pepper and chipotle elsewhere. Other spices it may not matter much. Also I have been a customer for many years and I do not recall ever receiving a discount code.
