Ceylon Cinnamon Alba: the pinnacle of true cinnamon
Ceylon cinnamon Alba grade represents the absolute excellence of true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum). Produced exclusively in Sri Lanka, the original home of cinnamon, the Alba grade is the finest of all grades: its quills have a diameter of less than 6mm and are formed from near-transparent layers of bark of exceptional delicacy. This cinnamon is radically different from cassia cinnamon (sold in supermarkets) due to its very low coumarin content, making it completely safe for daily consumption.
Why choose Alba grade?
Alba grade is the premium grade of Ceylon cinnamon. Its ultra-thin quills break and powder easily, instantly releasing their floral and gently sweet aroma. The coumarin content is up to 250 times lower than that of cassia cinnamon — a recognised public health concern that makes Ceylon cinnamon the essential choice for regular use. Alba grade also offers the silkiest texture and the most nuanced aromatic profile.
Culinary uses:
- Infusions, teas and hot drinks (chai, golden milk)
- Refined pastries and desserts
- Mild Indian curries and sweet-savoury dishes
- Compotes, porridge and breakfasts
- Mulled wine and festive spiced drinks
- Biryanis and fragrant pilaf
Origin and quality:
We source our spices exclusively from certified organic producers in Sri Lanka, guaranteeing authentic true cinnamon, natural, with no additives or preservatives.
Storage:
To preserve all its aromas, store your cinnamon quills in a dry place, away from light and humidity, in their original airtight packaging.

Pourquoi choisir Ceylon Cinnamon Alba de La Table Indienne ?
Fraîcheur et qualité exceptionnelles
Nos épices sont importées directement d'Inde et conditionnées à la demande pour garantir une fraîcheur optimale. Contrairement aux épices vendues en grande surface qui peuvent rester des mois sur les étagères, nous veillons à ce que chaque épice conserve toute sa saveur et son arôme.
Authenticité et traçabilité
Chaque épice provient de régions spécifiques en Inde réputées pour leur savoir-faire. Nous travaillons directement avec des producteurs locaux qui cultivent leurs épices de manière traditionnelle et biologique, sans pesticides ni produits chimiques.
Comment bien utiliser cette épice ?
Pour révéler tous les arômes, nous recommandons de faire légèrement griller les épices entières à sec dans une poêle avant de les moudre. Conservez-les dans un endroit sec et à l'abri de la lumière pour préserver leur fraîcheur le plus longtemps possible.
