Cinnamomum verum, also known as Ceylon cinnamon and Sri Lanka cinnamon, is
referred to as the "true" cinnamon. This is because the species from which this
bark is obtained is native to regions where centuries of foreign invasions and
wars were fought to gain control of the trade of this spice.
This ground
cinnamon comes from Vietnam, where cultivating and harvesting the spice is an
ancient and highly-skilled art.
