Burlap & Barrel - Royal Cinnamon

Royal Cinnamon Intense sweetness and spiciness that defines Vietnamese cinnamon. Burlap & Barrel's Royal Cinnamon has been harvested in the mountains around the ancient Vietnamese capital city of Huế for centuries. This is an heirloom variety not widely harvested or exported, and it exemplifies the intense sweetness and spiciness for which Vietnamese cinnamon is prized. Use it in place of Saigon or other cinnamons in pastries and baked goods, or sprinkle into rich, savory meat or tomato-based dishes.

Burlap & Barrel is a single-origin spice company founded in 2016 by Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar in New York. They source directly from smallholder farmers in over 20 countries, paying 5 to 20 times the commodity rate. Their spices are so fresh and potent that they recommend new customers use half a serving at first. "You are just cooking with old spices," says co-founder Zohar. "This is how it should be."
