Spanish name for Italian Spice

[deltadoc]

While eating at the now defunct Mangere Italian Restaurant in Dorado, Puerto Rico, I asked for the ingredients for an Italian penne dish made with bacon and prosciutto.

One of the ingredients that the waiter could not translate was something like "albaca".

None of my Puerto Rican friends know what this is.

Does anyone out there have an idea? Am not sure the spelling is correct, I wrote this stuff down as fast as the waiter was naming off the ingredients.

My assumption at the time was it was "bacon" but I know now that isn't what it is.

Thanks!
