Rice Starch Powder Bag 1 kg (Case 10) — Pavoncelli

Pavoncelli Rice Starch Powder 1 kg Case 10 – Quick Overview

Italian rice starch powder, 1 kg professional bag, case of 10 (10 kg total), distributed by Pavoncelli. Natural gluten-free thickener extracted from rice grain, white very fine powder with neutral flavour, the discreet ally of modern Italian pastry and gluten-free cuisine.

Origins and Technical Characteristics

Rice starch (Oryza sativa) is obtained by wet milling and separation of the grain. Smaller particles (3-8 microns) compared to cornstarch (15 microns) and potato starch (40 microns) = finer thickening power, silkier texture, more neutral taste. Naturally gluten-free, perfect for certified coeliac cooking. Historically used in Chinese and Japanese sauces (slurry), today a star of modern European pastry (Pierre Hermé, Cedric Grolet) for light, low-fat creams.

Professional Uses and Dosages

Light pastry cream (replaces flour): 30-40 g per 1 L milk (vs 80 g flour). Light Bavarian cream: 25 g per 500 ml cream. Vegan panna cotta (with agar): 20 g + 2 g agar per 500 ml plant-based milk.
