Ceylon cinnamon, also known as "True Cinnamon," is a type of cinnamon that is highly regarded for its distinct flavor and aroma. It is obtained from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, which is native to Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. One of the key characteristics of Ceylon cinnamon is its delicate and subtle flavor. It has a milder taste compared to other varieties of cinnamon, with a complex profile that includes sweet and citrusy notes. The flavor is well-balanced and doesn't overpower the dishes it is added to.
