Is cinnamon oil made from real sticks?

Yes, cinnamon oil is made from real cinnamon sticks. The oil is extracted from the bark of the cinnamon tree, usually through steam distillation.

Here's how it works:

1. Cinnamon bark is ground into small pieces.

2. The pieces are placed in a still and exposed to steam.

3. The steam carries the essential oil from the bark.

4. The steam is condensed, and the cinnamon oil separates from the water.

So, the oil you use in baking or for aromatherapy is derived directly from the bark of real cinnamon trees!
