She is originally from Ceylon. It is very widespread today and is found in many countries, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Antilles, Guyana, Brazil...
It is the bark of a tree. Chinese cinnamon, “Laurus Cassia” or “cinnamomum cassia” or “cinnamomum obtusifolium”, also called Cassia is produced by a tree of the same family, but it is less aromatic, less subtle and less elegant than Ceylon cinnamon.

You can use it in your stewed meat or vegetable dishes and with rice. It goes beautifully with turnips and carrots. It is essential on Moroccan pastilla and Portuguese pastel de nata. It is of course very comfortable in desserts, rice pudding, apple pie, French toast and creams.
