Viva Doria Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks, 3'' Cut, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, True Cinnamon, 8 Oz, | 50-55 Sticks | 100% Raw From Sri Lanka

Great taste and value.

Pros: It breaks easily into 1/3 pieces which seems to be about the equivalent of an entire stick of the commercial brand of cinnamon. Cons: It has a milder smell and flavor of store-bought cinnamon, but I'm ok with that. I put a 1/3 stick in my cup of coffee every morning to help lower my blood pressure. In the summer, I use it to make my own pickling spice for canning sweet pickles. During the fall I use it to make sweet potato and pumpkin dishes and during the winter, I use it to make my own spice for German Gluehwein.

Ceylon cinnamon is also known as ‘true cinnamon’. Ceylon cinnamon is less overpowering and has a subtle, sweet, mildly spicy flavor, a mild aroma and a soft papery texture in comparison to Cassia cinnamon, which is sold as cinnamon in grocery stores. The product is well packaged and sealed helping it to stay fresh longer.

Per scientific evidence, Ceylon is the healthier choice between the two different types of cinnamons. However, whenever I desire a true cinnamon taste, I find that Cassia cinnamon sticks are more tasteful and robust than Ceylon. As you know, I must be truthful - I give this cinnamon 5 stars because of its health benefit and not because of its taste because in truth, this cinnamon taste like tree bark with little or no taste. So, whenever I want the true taste of cinnamon, I use Cassia sparingly because after all, humankind must have some enjoyment while we travel mother earth. Be safe, be happy, and most of all enjoy your journey.

Very light cinnamon flavor. Kind of on the spicy side. Has an after taste. I raised my rating one star because some of the sticks are stronger cinnamon flavored than others. So far I would repurchase these.

I was initially hesitant to buy this cinnamon due to the mixed reviews, but I'm so glad I did! It's important to note that this is not the typical cinnamon we're used to in the United States. It looks and smells different. After reading about the differences between Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon, I decided to give it a try, and I'm thrilled with the result! This cinnamon is much less overpowering than regular cinnamon and enhances the dish without overwhelming it.

Looks like everything I read about on the internet. The sticks are light brown in color with many layers. Mild cinnamon taste with a hint of citrus. Brittle and easy to break up. I’m gonna start using it in my protein drinks.

I like cinnamon in my coffee. I always used the store bought cinnamon powder in the past until I learned that there're actually different types of cinnamon. I decided to try out these Ceylon cinnamon sticks and I think I like them better. I steep a stick in my coffee for several minutes to get the flavor out. I re-use the stick multiple times before throwing it away. The flavor is more subtle than the cinnamon powder I used before. I recommend them.

Excellent product

Great value for money

It seems okay, but I’m not sure if this is an Alba grade, as mentioned in the description here at Amazon. There is no indication of the grade on the package, so why are putting different descriptions? I’ve also seen similar or better quality before.

Be careful. This is not Alba grade. Quality is a low grade
