McCormick Cinnamon (Canela Molida), Ground 18oz 510g
McCormick Ground Cinnamon is one of those spices that quietly earns its place on the counter. Warm, fragrant, and deeply familiar, it’s the cinnamon you reach for when baking feels like home — cakes, cookies, pies, puddings, and anything that deserves that unmistakable cinnamon aroma.
But cinnamon doesn’t stop at sweets. A pinch adds depth to savory dishes too, especially in Asian cooking, spice rubs, stews, roasted vegetables, and even chili. Used lightly, it brings warmth and balance without shouting.
This cinnamon is ground from mature bark from trees that are aged at least 15 years before harvesting for full flavor, giving it a rich mahogany color and a clean, bold taste. The texture is fine and powdery, with no fillers or additives — just pure cinnamon.
Packaged in a bulk container with a removable double flip-top lid, it’s designed for real kitchen use. One side shakes easily for sprinkling over oatmeal, toast, or coffee, while the wide opening makes it simple to measure with a spoon or refill smaller spice jars.
Great for:
- Baking: cookies, cakes, pies, cinnamon rolls, and puddings
- Breakfast favorites: oatmeal, French toast, coffee, cocoa, and cider
- Savory dishes: lamb, pork, chicken, sweet potatoes, squash, and spice rubs
- Everyday cooking when you want warmth without heat
Cinnamon may be one of the world’s oldest spices, but a good one never feels outdated. This is a dependable, versatile cinnamon you’ll use often — and miss immediately if it’s not there. Grab some today before you run out!

McCormick Cinnamon (Canela Molida), Ground 18oz 510g - FAQ
- Q: What kind of cinnamon does McCormick use in its Ground Cinnamon?
- A: McCormick Ground Cinnamon is cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia), primarily sourced from Indonesia. It is the most common cinnamon variety used in the U.S.
- Q: Is there anything else in this cinnamon not in the ingredient list?
- A: No. If no other ingredients are listed on the label, it contains only ground cinnamon.
- Q: When McCormick says cinnamon is “aged 15 years,” does that mean the cinnamon has been aging in casks for 15 years?
- A: No. It means the cinnamon trees are at least 15 years old when harvested. McCormick sources cinnamon from mature trees because the bark develops deeper color and richer flavor with age. Once harvested, the bark is quickly processed and ground to preserve freshness.
- Q: What kinds of recipes is McCormick Ground Cinnamon good for?
- A: It’s excellent in both sweet and savory dishes. Think cookies, cakes, pies, custards, and puddings, but also in lamb, pork, chicken, chili, couscous, and even coffee or cocoa.
- Q: What makes McCormick cinnamon different from others?
- A: McCormick’s cinnamon is aged up to 15 years for deeper, richer flavor. McCormick carefully selects its cinnamon based on aroma, flavor, and color. It’s then steam-cleaned and ground fresh at their Maryland facility, then bottled quickly to lock in aroma and taste
- Q: Is McCormick Ground Cinnamon non-GMO?
- A: Yes. It is produced without genetic engineering.
- Q: How is the packaging designed for kitchen use?
- A: Some containers, like the 18oz Canela Molida, come with a dual flip-top—one side is a shaker, the other open for spoons or refilling.
- Q: What’s the difference between McCormick Ground Cinnamon and McCormick Culinary Korintji Ground Cinnamon?
- A: Both are cassia cinnamon, but the Korintji variety comes specifically from the mountainous Korintji region of Sumatra. McCormick Culinary Korintji Cinnamon is aimed at chefs and bakers for its consistent grind and delicate flavor. It has a slightly higher oil content (around 2.5%) which helps it hold up better in baking and delivers a warm, sweet flavor with a mild bite.
- Q: What types of dishes can I use cinnamon in?
- A: Cinnamon is extremely versatile — use it in sweet dishes like pies, cookies, and oatmeal, or in savory dishes like lamb, pork, chicken, chili, couscous, and rubs for grilled meats. It’s also great in coffee, hot cocoa, or sprinkled on French toast and squash.
- Q: Does McCormick clean their cinnamon with chemicals or solvents?
- A: No. McCormick uses natural steam to clean their cinnamon bark before it’s ground and bottled. This helps preserve its pure, authentic flavor without introducing any chemical residues.
- Q: Why is McCormick cinnamon processed in Maryland?
- A: After the cinnamon bark is harvested in Southeast Asia, it’s quickly shipped to McCormick’s processing facility in Maryland, where it’s cleaned with steam, ground, and bottled. This tight control over processing helps ensure consistency and freshness.
- Q: How does McCormick ensure consistent cinnamon flavor from bottle to bottle?
- A: McCormick controls the entire process—from sourcing and testing bark samples, to steam-cleaning, grinding, and bottling cinnamon in its own facilities. This keeps aroma and flavor consistent across different batches.
