So, this is clearly an out of the ordinary post for us, but when you find something amazing, you share it. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be able to swing by the King Arthur baking store up in Norwich, V.T. I promptly filled a cart with goodies, and have been testing some of them out. One amazing find was a small jar of Vietnamese Cinnamon…
This simple little container holds a powerhouse of aroma and flavor that blows ordinary varieties out of the water. One whiff, and you know you are in for a treat. This cinnamon has a high oil content, which means the taste spreads all the way through your baked goods, drinks, and desserts. The flavor is wonderfully rich, with that distinctive peppery bite found in cinnamon gum or candy, warm and long lasting. Eating something made with this potent spice is a revelation, a sudden understanding of how cinnamon is meant to taste.
Conclusion? These Innkeepers will never settle for another cinnamon. And the best part is that a 2 oz. jar of the stuff will set you back a whole $5 with King Arthur.
