Expert Review and Insights
In any professional kitchen, consistency is king, and that absolutely extends to your spice rack. What I appreciate about these Schwartz sticks is their integrity; they aren't brittle or flaky. They deliver that classic, warm-but-not-too-sweet cinnamon profile that works so well across different cuisines. A genuinely reliable and cost-effective workhorse for any chef.

- Pro: The sticks are impressively robust, ideal for slow-cooking without disintegrating into your dish.
- Con: They are quite tough, so grinding them for powder requires a proper spice grinder.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Twisted Spoon, a popular brunch spot in Norwich, wanted to upgrade their winter drinks menu beyond generic syrups. They needed an ingredient that provided authentic flavour and a great look in the glass.
"The difference in flavour is night and day. Our homemade spiced apple warmer, made with these whole cinnamon sticks, is now our best-selling seasonal drink. The aroma alone draws people in. It's a small change that made a huge impact on quality."
Michael Davies – Head Barista
The café saw a 35% increase in seasonal drink sales and received numerous positive mentions on social media about their 'authentic' mulled drinks.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- For a deeper, toastier flavour, gently warm the sticks in a dry pan for a minute before use.
- Add sticks at the beginning of cooking for liquids like stews or mulled wine to allow for full infusion.
- One stick is usually enough to flavour a litre of liquid, but adjust to your own taste.
- They can be used to perfume sugar by simply placing a stick inside a sealed jar of caster sugar.
Keeping It Fresh
- Always store in an airtight container to protect the essential oils that carry the flavour.
- Keep the container in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the heat and steam of the oven.
- Avoid storing them next to strongly scented spices like cloves to prevent flavour transfer.
- Check for a strong aroma before use; if it has faded significantly, it's time for a new pack.

Explore more from SchwartzWhy Whole Spices Make All the Difference
Ever wondered why chefs often prefer whole spices over ground? Think of these Schwartz whole cinnamon sticks like a teabag for flavour. When you use a ground spice, it's like tearing the bag open and tipping the leaves straight into your mug – you get a fast, intense hit, but also a gritty texture. A whole stick, however, slowly and gently infuses its flavour into liquids like syrups, teas, or slow-cooked sauces. This gives you a much clearer, more nuanced taste without any cloudiness or residue. It also gives you total control; you can remove the stick whenever the flavour is exactly where you want it. It’s the secret to professional-tasting, clean-finished drinks and broths.
