They harmonise well with other spices and herbs, and are especially suitable for salads, light meat (chicken and pork) dishes and fish curries. The sweet and fresh liquorice /anise-like taste also yields well with pickled fruit.
Real C5 quality cinnamon – delicate and aromatic from cinnamon farmer Ananda in Sri Lanka
Mill & Mortar only sells real cinnamon from Sri Lanka (Cinnamomum Zeylanicum) – simply because it tastes better.

Chipotle is a smoked chilli from Chihuahua, Mexico.
Chipotle is made of medium-hot Jalapeno chillies that score between 2500 -10,000 on the Scoville scale.
These peppers are ripened on the bush until they get deep brown and wrinkled. The chilli is then dried for several days in burning fireplaces.
The resultant flavour is a combination of strong pepper fruit and smoke, which is typically used in sauces, salsas and marinades.

Considered by many as the best black pepper in the world, this IGP certified black Penja is a great addition to the Christmas/Easter table.
