Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Powder – Premium Quality from Sri Lanka
Centralsun Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Powder is a true gourmet choice for those who value pure origin, delicate flavor, and the highest quality. This cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka – a region widely regarded as the finest growing area for Ceylon cinnamon in the world. The local climate, soil, and centuries-old expertise create the ideal conditions for cultivating the most highly valued cinnamon species, Cinnamomum verum.
Alba is the highest and rarest grade of Ceylon cinnamon. This means it is not just organic cinnamon, but carefully selected and sorted bark that meets the most demanding standards for texture, color, and aroma. While standard Ceylon cinnamon is already appreciated for its softer and purer flavor compared to cassia cinnamon, the Alba grade elevates the experience even further.
What Makes Alba Cinnamon Special?
Alba grade cinnamon is exceptionally light in color, finely textured, and silky in consistency. The powder is delicate and airy, almost creamy in tone. Its aroma carries warmth and natural sweetness without being sharp or overpowering. The flavor is balanced, gently sweet, slightly vanilla-like, and elegant, without excessive spiciness or bitterness.
Regular Ceylon cinnamon is also high quality and pleasant, but Alba differs in several important ways:
-
Lighter color and finer texture
-
Milder, rounder, and “cleaner” taste
-
Softer, less sharp aroma
-
A rarer and more carefully selected premium grade
Alba does not overpower other flavors — it supports and enhances them. This makes it especially valued in baking and beverages where balance is more important than intense spiciness.
Origin and Processing
Sri Lanka is historically known as the homeland of Ceylon cinnamon. There, Cinnamomum verum is grown on small farms where the bark is carefully harvested by hand. After peeling, the cinnamon is dried at low temperatures to preserve its natural color and aroma.
Centralsun Organic Ceylon Alba Cinnamon Powder is dried below 40°C (104°F), which qualifies it as raw food quality. Low-temperature drying helps maintain the cinnamon’s natural structure and delicate flavor profile. It is not exposed to high heat or treated with additives. This is pure, ground cinnamon bark with no fillers or flavor enhancers.
Its organic origin ensures that no synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used during cultivation. The result is a natural ingredient that truly reflects the quality of its growing environment.
Flavor Profile and Experience
Alba cinnamon offers a warm, gently sweet, and well-balanced flavor. It lacks the strong, sharp intensity characteristic of cassia cinnamon. Instead, it provides softness and natural elegance, making it suitable for both everyday use and more refined recipes.
The fine texture allows it to blend smoothly into drinks and batters. Even a small amount provides noticeable flavor without dominating the dish. For this reason, many chefs and bakers prefer Alba grade cinnamon when the goal is harmony rather than overwhelming spice.
