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
