Cooks in 3 minutes. Since 1950. This traditional Italian cornmeal owes its humble roots to Northern Italy, where it began as a simple, hearty peasant food. Today, polenta has become a versatile ingredient in Italian cuisine - from the classic, warm and creamy porridge with Parmigiano-Reggiano to a myriad of savory appetizers. When left to cool, polenta sets and becomes a sliceable dish to grill, fry or top with sauces. In Piemonte, Italy, our superior corn meal is finely milled for a polenta that is ready in minutes, while remaining true to its authentic taste and texture.
