Cinnamon reaches Cinnabon through a detailed multi-step process. First, cinnamon is harvested from the bark of trees in Sri Lanka, India, China, and Southeast Asia. The bark is peeled, dried, and rolled into quills.
Next, these cinnamon quills are packed into cases and bales to protect them during their journey. They are then shipped to the United States, where Cinnabon is located.
Upon arrival, the cinnamon undergoes quality control checks to ensure it meets the required standards. This step is crucial to maintain the flavor and aroma Cinnabon is known for.
The cinnamon is then stored in cool, dry places with good ventilation. This prevents moisture buildup and keeps the cinnamon aromatic and fresh.
Finally, the cinnamon is transported to Cinnabon’s facilities. Here, it becomes a key ingredient in their delicious baked goods and other products, ensuring the signature taste of Cinnabon.
