Production & Sourcing
Harvesting: The first step is to harvest the bark of cinnamon trees. The bark is carefully peeled off the trees in thin strips. The inner bark is the part used for making cinnamon.
Drying: The harvested strips of cinnamon bark are laid out to dry. This drying process helps reduce the moisture content and prepares the bark for grinding.
Curing: After drying, the bark is typically left to cure for some time. This allows the flavor and aromatic compounds to develop fully.
Grinding: Once the bark is sufficiently dry and cured, it is ground into a fine powder. This grinding process transforms the bark into the familiar cinnamon powder that we use in cooking and baking.
