What Is an Oleoresin?

The “oleo”, or oil, component refers to the essential oil of cinnamon, which delivers the highly aromatic and fiery heat found in the volatile compounds of cinnamon. The “resin” component provides a complex, earthy balance with its non-volatile flavor compounds, lending both nuance and depth of flavor. Together, these exceptional natural ingredients capture and convey the full flavor spectrum of cinnamon in a way that has yet to be accomplished in syrups.

The Best of Both Woods

There are two broad varieties of cinnamon, Cassia and Ceylon, and each one has unique flavor advantages over the other. Our proprietary blend features Ceylon cinnamon for its complex, floral, and slightly delicate notes, and Cassia to provide a powerful backbone and that classic "red hot" spice. Together, they create a wonderfully layered and robust syrup that has the nuance of Ceylon and the assertiveness of Cassia.
