Ceylon Cinnamon Sticks (Alba)

The Pinnacle of True Cinnamon: Alba Grade 

Discover the authentic Edelsein Ceylon Cinnamon sticks (Alba grade) from the island of Sri Lanka, renowned for their unparalleled taste and health benefits. Alba is considered the highest grade of "true cinnamon" (Cinnamomum verum), distinguished by its exceptionally light beige color, incredibly thin and delicate bark, and perfectly cylindrical, tightly rolled quills. Unlike other varieties, Ceylon Cinnamon is delicate, sweet, and contains significantly lower levels of coumarin, making it safer for regular consumption. 

100% pure Ceylon Alba quills are sustainably sourced and carefully hand-rolled to preserve their natural oils and aroma. 

These exquisite cinnamon sticks offer a subtle sweetness and a complex flavor profile with citrus, warm, and sweet notes. 

Packaged in our innovative biodegradable canister, these cinnamon sticks add a burst of flavour to your dishes. By purchasing this product, you will support local farmers and promote environmentally sustainable practices.

Storage Recommendations 

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep in an airtight container to preserve essential oils and prevent moisture absorption. 

• For best results, store in a dark glass jar or opaque container. 
• Avoid storing near the stove or in the refrigerator. 
• If the aroma fades, it's time to replace the cinnamon for optimal flavor. 
• Used sticks can be stored separately and used for lighter infusions.
