■ Product of Sri Lanka, Madagascar
Genuine ground Ceylon cinnamon, often confused with cassia. It has a more complex, less aggressive nose than cassia. The wild cinnamon tree can reach 15 meters in height, but since man has exploited it for its tawny color and inimitable taste, it has been reduced to 2 to 3 meters. Its bark is scraped and sliced into fine ribbons which, when dried, curl up on themselves.
Place des Epices has been in the back of our minds for 30 years now. Our parents were gourmet restaurateurs who worked with fresh produce all their lives, our uncles and aunts were hoteliers, and our great-grandparents were butchers at Les Halles de Paris. Franck is an art director, Fred a botanist, and their shared passion for eating and entertaining led them to develop Place des Epices, an organic grocery store for the vast majority of products. We surround ourselves with the best spice suppliers in France and Europe, and scour the world for different products, each more astonishing than the last. Aswan, Taliouine, Alnif, Panamaram: so many cities of the world that we visit to come back with our heads full of emotions, beautiful encounters and recipes. Today it's Aurore, Laetitia, Yaiza and Julien who help us prepare and dispatch your orders on a daily basis, and tomorrow we'll be welcoming other enthusiasts. The circle is growing, but the workshop will always remain on a human scale to preserve our know-how and the quality of our products.
