ALL cinnamon is cassia (false cinnamon) unless specifically stated. Genuine cinnamon is CEYLON and will say so on the label and reflect it in the price tag as it is significantly more expensive and has no issues with coumarin which can be toxic to the liver. True cinnamon is the bark of a tree native to Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), the most prevalent species names of which are Cinnamomum verum ("true cinnamon") and C. zeylanicum ("Ceylon cinnamon"), of which C. seylanicum is a variant spelling. In Europe, the word "cinnamon" is limited to this species. In other words , in the US we eat the fake stuff and in Europe they eat the real stuff. Buy Ceylon ONLY to ensure you're getting the real deal. ALL cinnamon is cassia (false cinnamon) unless specifically stated.

No this is not ceylon, but you can buy at Penzey's Spices on line, more expensive and more the true cinnamon but I have no health problems to be concerned about with Canela Molida. Tones has always provided great spices at a fair price and this cinnamon is very fine, sweet smelling and has a great taste and much better taste than cinnamon I have bought in grocery stores.

Thanks...couldn't see the label and saw your answer. Just read a medical newsletter than said to use the Ceylon cin. and not the cassia.

The Saigon cinnamon definitely has a much stronger smell and taste. After educating myself more closely on the various types of cinnamon before purchasing, this is what I found. "What true cinnamon and cassia (Saigon/Chinese cinnamon) do not have in common is their coumarin content. Coumarins are naturally occurring plant components that can be quite toxic in large amounts. These toxicities tend to affect the liver and nervous system most directly. While the level of naturally occurring coumarins in Ceylon cinnamon appears to be very small and lower than the amount that could cause health risks, the level of naturally occurring coumarins in the cassia cinnamons appears to be higher and may pose a risk to some individuals if consumed in substantial amounts on a regular basis. For this reason, organizations like the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Berlin, Germany have recommended that large amounts of the cassia cinnamons be avoided." Just google and read for yourself...then make your choices. I prefer the Ceylon for its smooth taste and for the less toxicity:) Good luck...

On January 7 2015, I wrote the following to info@olivenation.com : "Hello, Is your cinnamon oil from cassia? Or genuine cinnamon? Thank you in advance for your reply. Ann Childers, MD" The same day I received the following answer: "Hi It is from the leaf of the cassia cinnamon plant. Thank you. Amit." So it is cassia, and not true cinnamon. I hope this is helpful. If you locate genuine cinnamon oil, please post. Thank you!

I use this brand because of the type (ceylon) and research shows the best "true ceylon" cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka. I have not tried any other countries and am satisfied with this particular type after several months of use.

I received an answer from Amit at Olive Nation today. This oil is from the leaf of the cassia plant, not from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, which is known as Ceylon cinnamon.

It is Cinnamon Cassia, which has negative effects on the liver when taken regularly. Google it!

This is the real deal, also known as organic true cinnamon. Don't let the bottle fool you, looks same, read the label. Ceylon cinnamon is much more tasteful than Cassia, the common cinnamon sold in grocery stores. Much more healthy also!

You may be correct, but from what I can tell, this is Ceylon. Pretty dumb to have that pic.

Sorry, I did not post any images so I wouldn't know how to tell one from the other in the images. If C is for color I know mine is in color and not monotone.

All cinnamon contains coumarin. This is cassia cinnamon and therefore contains more than ceylon (true) cinnamon. Over-consumption can lead to liver damage, I've read. And those who are sensitive to coumarin should generally avoid cassia. As I understand it, this is the type of cinnamon that Cinnabon uses. I've used it for years with daily consumption in oatmeal and higher amounts in zucchini bread, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. I've had no negative effects. I've fed my infant oatmeal with this cinnamon in it before and she is perfectly fine. Don't use it in those diet fads or in high amounts with coffee. All cinnamon contains coumarin.

I have no idea about the "irradiation", but it is NOT Cassia. It is Ceylon and it is wonderful. It is very mild tasting and has a full bouquet of cinnamon smell. I can take it mixed with just a few tablespoons of water and find it easy and it doesn't burn.

It doesn't say anything about it on the label, but Saigon cinnamon is Cassia Cinnamon and Cassia naturally contains a fair amount of coumarin. What I read said that Ceylon Cinnamon contains hardly any coumarin. This quote is from Wikipedia: "One teaspoon of cassia cinnamon powder therefore contains 5.8 to 12.1 mg of coumarin, which may be above the tolerable daily intake value for smaller individuals."

It doesn't specifically say, but I would guess that it is Ceylon cinnamon. I read the label, but couldn't find anything specific.
