Madagascar Cinnamon: The Excellence of the "Ceylon" Type
Less famous than its neighbor vanilla, Madagascar Cinnamon is nonetheless a treasure of the Indian Ocean. Unlike Cassia cinnamon, Madagascar primarily produces Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), considered the "true cinnamon".
The Key Difference: Coumarin
For food manufacturers and health-conscious artisans, the choice is strategic. Cassia cinnamon contains high levels of coumarin, a substance that can be toxic in large quantities.
Madagascar cinnamon contains only trace amounts, making it safe for regular consumption and compliant with the strictest European standards.
A Subtle Aromatic Profile
While Cassia is spicy and harsh, Malagasy cinnamon stands out for:
- Thin, brittle bark, rolled like cigars.
- Sweet, slightly lemony notes.
- No bitterness after cooking.
B2B Sourcing: Available Forms
