Top Op Cinnamon Sticks 50g
Description
Aroma: Warm, Woody & Sweetly Pungent
Flavour: Bold, Earthy & Sweet with a Peppery Undertone
Top Op Cinnamon Sticks (Cassia) are sturdy, thick barks of cinnamon that offer a robust and long-lasting spice profile. This 50g pack is perfect for those who want the intense, "bark-like" strength of cinnamon to stand up to heavy spices and long simmering times. These sticks are designed to release their flavour slowly, providing a consistent, warming base that permeates through thick gravies and slow-cooked meat dishes.
-
The Secret Pinch: To create a professional "Tadka" or tempering for your dhal, snap a cinnamon stick into two or three pieces and add it to hot oil before your other spices. Breaking the bark exposes more surface area, allowing the deep, smoky-sweet oils to infuse the fat more rapidly and effectively than a whole stick.
-
Culinary Versatility: A fundamental ingredient for Massaman Curry, slow-roasted lamb, and festive spiced punches. They are also excellent for flavouring poaching liquids for fruits like pears or plums. This 50g size is the ideal "pantry refresher" for occasional cooks, ensuring the bark doesn't sit for too long and lose its essential oils.
-
Premium Ingredients: Sourced from selected, high-quality Cinnamomum cassia bark. Top Op ensures the sticks are dried to a perfect brittleness, allowing them to withstand high temperatures in a pressure cooker or oven without disintegrating or losing their spicy character.
-
Authentic Heritage: Known as "Dalchini," these sticks have been a cornerstone of the spice trade for centuries. In traditional folk medicine and Ayurveda, the whole bark is simmered to create a warming tea used to soothe the throat and support the body's natural defenses during the damp autumn and winter months.
-
Storage & Care: To maintain the "snap" and fragrance of the bark, store in a cool, dry, and airtight container. Keep the sticks away from humidity; if the bark absorbs moisture, it can become leathery and lose its ability to infuse dishes with its characteristic sharp, sweet heat.
