Recipe story

Cinnamon rolls, known in Nordic tradition as 'kanelbullar', were invented in 17th-century Sweden when royal bakers began adding exotic spices from the East to simple yeast doughs. Over time, this delicacy became a staple of Swedish fika, the traditional coffee break. The recipe was later adapted in many countries, including the United States, where the iced version became popular.

Ingredient Secrets

Cinnamon

In ancient Rome, cinnamon was more precious than gold, used in sacred rituals and royal perfumes. Legends told of fabulous birds called cinnamologus that built their nests from cinnamon sticks on inaccessible cliff tops. The cinnamon trade was long shrouded in mystery, with Arab merchants inventing fantastic stories to protect their sources.
