Our Royal Cinnamon is widely hailed as the best cinnamon in the world—with over 1,000 five-star reviews and glowing press—this heirloom variety has been harvested in the mountains around the ancient Vietnamese capital city of Huế for centuries. Despite its long history, it is not widely harvested and has never been exported to the U.S. until now. It exemplifies the intense sweetness and spiciness for which Vietnamese cinnamon is prized and outshines ordinary Saigon cinnamon in everything from pastries and baked goods to rich, savory dishes. If you're looking for cinnamon that's less sweet and spicy and more citrusy and complex, check out our Cinnamon Verum. We regularly test our cinnamon for lead in an internationally accredited food safety testing lab, and it is always significantly below the lead limits of 1 ppm. Please contact us for more details on our testing procedures for cinnamon and other spices.
