Polenta is a traditional Italian cornmeal with a warm golden colour, comforting flavour and smooth, creamy texture when cooked.

A classic staple of Northern Italian cooking, polenta is perfect served soft and creamy, left to set and sliced, or grilled and pan-fried until crisp. Its mild flavour makes it an ideal base for rich sauces, mushrooms, sausages, braised meats, roasted vegetables, cheese and extra virgin olive oil.

A versatile pantry essential for rustic Italian meals, winter dishes and simple family cooking.

Serving suggestion:

Cook slowly with water, stock or milk until thick and creamy. Finish with butter, Parmigiano Reggiano or olive oil, then serve with mushroom sauce, ragù, sausages, roasted vegetables or cheese.
