Cinnamon


80 to 85% of cinnamon worldwide comes from the Kerinci region on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Kerinci cinnamon is known for its unrivalled quality, due to many factors including its high oil percentage that is responsible for its flavor, but the oil content can vary depending on the grade of the cinnamon. Kerinci cinnamon comes in three grades: A, B, and C. While A grade cinnamon can have a more pungent flavor when compared to other forms of cinnamon, C grade can be somewhat bitter. The highest grade of Kerinci cinnamon is said to have a smooth, sweet taste with less of the pungent heat of other cassia varieties.
