Mediterranean Gourmet Organic Cinnamon Sticks, 16 Ounce

Now I know what cinnamon bark really looks like and I'm a happy camper! I grew up using cinnamon sticks from the tiny red and white can, handling them like they were expensive jewels, so when I opened the bag of bulk cinnamon strips I was overwhelmed with sentimentality. It seemed like I'd hit the jackpot - surrounded by the wealth of one of my favorite flavors.A few years ago I visited the home of a woman who grew up in a country where cinnamon grows wild. As I watched her make the chai I couldn't believe my eyes at how liberal she was with her cinnamon sticks. And the tea was fantastic, not merely a hint of the spice as my frugality insisted upon, but a really rich flavorful hot milk drink.So, when I wanted to can some gourmet peaches this Summer I researched bulk cinnamon online and settled on this brand. To my delight, it has the real cinnamon flavor I experienced as a child and continue to love. I make a green tea chai, formerly adding only cardamon, but now adding a cinnamon slice, and I enjoy the tea so much more.Now I put cinnamon in whatever delicacy I want, sometimes tying the bark inside a piece of cheesecloth, for easy removal after infusing the flavor in liquid. This is really good cinnamon, a good buy!

I put this product in water on my wood stove. I've gone through a pound of it in about 3 months. Normally, I get the entire 5 month stove-season out of a pound of cinnamon. Also, be prepared. They say "sticks" but they are much more like chips, crumbs and powder. I'll post a customer image.

I didn't look closely at the picture, but that's exactly what I got, a pound of cinnamon chips. These aren't whole sticks, every one was broken into little chips. Not at all what I wanted. I chose this rating because these are a nonreturnable item. Normally I love buying from amazon, but I am not happy with this product at all. Just be sure that you zoom in on all further products and make sure that it's exactly what you want as well as checking out the return policy.

Was not the cinnamon sticks i was expecting. More like broken pieces of bark. But very nice flavor and aromas. Put a few pieces in my coffee grinder when making a pot of coffee and had a nice treat.

Exactly what you get in the picture. Probably organic, whatever that means. The flavor is pleasant, not strong. I suspect this is how cinnamon actually taste. This seems to be the unprocessed scraps.

this is the best purchase of cinnamon I have ever made in my life! this will last me at least a year using it for endless things and I did not get even one broken piece in the whole bag! the flavor is just right not too strong but definitely not weak. I had a great experience with this company and would most certainly purchase again from them!

I don't believe this is the organic cinnamon sticks that I paid for. All organics are labeled as such. The UPC code on my package does not match the one in the picture. Is this organic? I can buy non-organics locally. This is why I shop amazon.com.

This is great value for cinnamon sticks, and organic to boot! I use this when I cook rice dishes, and it is great for making spiced cider in the winter.
