Our potato starch is a high-quality product, made in Austria and packaged in Italy by SaporePuro, a company specializing in food ingredients.

Potato starch is obtained through a process of extracting and sieving potatoes; the result is a fine, white powder with a neutro flavor.

Potato starch is very versatile in cooking and is used as a natural thickener in many recipes. The recommended dosage varies depending on the preparation, but in general it is recommended to use about 10 grams of Potato Starch per liter of liquid.

Due to its thickening and stabilizing properties, Potato Starch finds use in many dishes in the food industry, such as soups, sauces, desserts, and baked goods. Unlike other thickeners, such as wheat flour or chemical yeast, Potato Starch is gluten-free and can be used in preparations for people with celiac disease.

Potato starch is also valued for its ability to impart softness and lightness to many preparations, such as cookies and cakes. In addition, because of its ability to absorb water, Potato Starch helps prevent lumps from forming in preparations.

An example of a recipe using Potato Starch is apple pie.

To prepare it, simply mix 200 grams of potato starch with 200 grams of flour, 200 grams of sugar, 3 eggs, 100 grams of melted butter, and 1 packet of baking powder. Add 4 peeled and diced apples and mix well. Pour the mixture into a buttered baking dish and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and cooked through. The potato starch will give the cake a soft and light texture, perfect to accompany tea or coffee.
