Cinnamon-Apple Gourmet Candle

Cinnamon is the common name for a spice made from the dried bark of Laurel trees. The best-known species is native to Sri Lanka and it is cultivated in many other tropical countries in Southeast Asia and elsewhere.

Cinnamon is yellowish brown and has a distinctive fragrant aroma and a sweetish, pungent taste. It has been used since early times as a spice in many culinary preparations, and it is also used in some medicines.

The aromatic qualities of cinnamon result from a volatile oil, oil of cinnamon, that may be extracted from the bark by distillation. The oil varies in color from yellow to cherry red; the yellow is used in scenting soap and flavoring candy.
