Brazilian cassia (Cinnamomum cassia) offers a strong, warm, and spicy aroma, with a more intense and slightly peppery flavor compared to Ceylon cinnamon. The 5-inch sticks feature a firm, uniform structure and a deep brown color.
Cassia is known for its high natural content of cinnamaldehyde, the compound responsible for its powerful fragrance and its ability to retain flavor even during long cooking processes. This makes it ideal for applications requiring a bold aromatic presence.
