Morton & Bassett Ground Cinnamon — 2.2 oz Jar

Product description

This product is a 2.2 ounce container of ground cinnamon presented in a clear bottle so the color and texture are visible. The cinnamon is described as all-natural and is meant for everyday use in baking, cooking and beverages — a basic pantry spice for both sweet and savory recipes. The container size is compact enough for home use yet offers enough for many batches of cookies, breads, sauces or spiced drinks.

The brand dates back to 1986 when founder Morton Gothelf began sourcing higher-grade spices for cooks who wanted better flavor than what typical grocery aisles offered. Early on the company emphasized quality ingredients, good value and transparent packaging that showcased the contents. Since then the line has expanded to more than 100 spices and blends, maintaining a focus on freshness and ingredient selection so cooks get more expressive, reliable flavors in their kitchen creations.

Pros

  • Bright, aromatic flavor
  • Clear jar that displays the spice
  • All-natural ingredient

Cons

  • Stronger taste than common supermarket cinnamon
  • Shake top can dispense too much
  • Priced above budget brands

VerdictThis ground cinnamon delivers a pronounced, fresh aroma and a brighter flavor profile than many supermarket options. Packaged in a clear bottle that highlights the product, the 2.2 oz jar is a pantry-friendly size for home bakers and cooks. Expect higher quality (and price) versus bargain brands, plus a product from a long-running specialty spice maker.

Reader reviews

  1. saltwater 5/5

    Good pick if you're avoiding lead

    After reading about lead issues, I switched to this brand. It's pricier than basic supermarket jars, but one 2.2 oz bottle lasts me a long time and I feel safer knowing it isn't on recall lists for elevated lead.

  2. Gloria Patricia Husarek 5/5

    Noticeable quality difference

    Once I tried this, the improvement in aroma and freshness was obvious. The quality feels superior and more wholesome.

  3. Young 5/5

    Trustworthy, no lead concerns

    Pleasant cinnamon and appears free of lead. A reliable powder to keep on the shelf.

  4. Not happy 5/5

    Authentic, milder profile

    This tastes like true cinnamon rather than the stronger Cassia most people grew up with, so it comes across as lighter. If you prefer the heavy, sweet cinnamon used in lots of processed treats, this will seem subtler, but chefs often recommend it for balance.

  5. MUSIC LOVE 4/5

    Great flavor, messy pour

    Flavor is excellent, but the shaker holes are large. Unless you shake over a wide tray you can lose more than you intend.

  6. Brian A. Bergman 5/5

    Intensely flavorful

    This is the most potent cinnamon I've tried — very flavorful and a little goes a long way. It has a bright, almost slightly citrus edge that sets it apart. Also, lab testing shows low heavy metals, which is reassuring.

  7. Trixie B 5/5

    Rich, fresh-tasting spice

    I've sampled many cinnamons and this one stands out for depth and freshness. It costs a bit more—some say due to organic sourcing—but the flavor payoff makes it worth buying.
