Ceylon alba cinnamon is a delicate, elegant, richly flavored and vibrant spice. It is the best cinnamon and no cinnamon has ever been found on earth that can surpass the quality of cinnamon alba.
So, if you can afford to use this luxurious spice, consider it your lady luck! Alba cinnamon is very expensive, and you will rarely find it at your local grocer. The importance of this variety lies largely in its texture. Also, the thinness during cooking and its crumbly nature are very variable.
