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.

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.
First class service - quick delivery of high quality products. Well packaged.

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.
Beautiful flavour. Perfect for my use in a lamb curry.
Efficient, speedy and great quality.
My order was delivered within a couple of days, packaged so it could drop through the letter box. Everything I ordered was included. I have ordered from The Spicery for the past 2 or 3 years and find their service excellent, their spices always very fresh and beautifully packaged. They are great value for money too and I would recommend them to anyone.
Superb quality spices and swift efficent delivery
Delicious and fresh. I always buy from The Spicery.
The Spicery had exactly what I wanted, they sell high quality spices and service and delivery speed in excellent. I've had a subscription in the past which was also excellent.
Very fast delivery, good quality products and an extensive range, I little expensive on some items but free delivery compensates somewhat.
