Paneangeli Vanillina

Paneangeli Vanillina is a quintessential Italian baking ingredient used to infuse cakes, creams, and pastries with a delicate vanilla aroma. The brand traces its roots back to 1932 in Cremona, Italy, when Ettore Riccardi created a specialized baking powder known as 'Pane degli Angeli' (Bread of Angels). This name was inspired by a customer's comment that a cake made with his formula was so soft it seemed to be made by angels.

Over the decades, the brand became a household name across Italy, expanding from its iconic blue packets of yeast into a full range of baking aids, including vanillin powder, flavor extracts, and gelatin. Today, the brand is part of Cameo S.p.A., which is the Italian subsidiary of the German multinational Dr. Oetker. Despite its international corporate ownership, Paneangeli remains deeply tied to its Italian heritage, with production continuing in Italian facilities and its products remaining a staple in traditional Italian kitchens.
