New Product Olde Thompson Organic Saigon Cinnamon Sticks

The scoop

If your spice drawer has been running low on cinnamon sticks just as the weather starts turning cozy, this find is worth a look. Olde Thompson Organic Saigon Cinnamon Sticks showed up on the shelf in a generous jar, ready for cider season and beyond.

Olde Thompson has been in the spice business since 1944, and this jar is packed with whole Saigon cinnamon sticks, a variety known for its bold, sweet-spicy aroma. The USDA Organic seal is printed right on the label, and the sticks come housed in a reusable glass jar with a metal lid, so once they’re gone you’ve got a handy container for something else.

Whole cinnamon sticks like these are a pantry staple for a reason. They’re great for steeping in mulled wine or cider, dropping into a pot of chai, or using as a stirrer for hot cocoa. Because it’s Costco, you’re getting a lot of product for the price, which works out well if you go through cinnamon sticks often or like to give some away during the holidays.

Bottom Line: If you bake, brew, or simmer anything cinnamon-scented this season, this organic Saigon cinnamon stick jar looks like a solid stock-up buy.
