Its wholegrain flavor and rustic texture distinguish it from other non artisanal polenta flours.Polenta Flour is generally boiled and can then be served in a variety of ways. In Northern Italy, Polenta is as popular as pasta is in the south and therefore, is often served dotted with butter and topped with shaved Parmigiano or in a bowl with fresh cream and honey for breakfast. Polenta is also served as a side to meat or fish dishes prepared in gravy or sauce. Leftover polenta can be spread into a baking dish and left to set or solidify. It can then be grilled, sauteed or baked. After inverting the polenta onto a wooden cutting board, a thick piece of string is usually used to cut pieces into wedges or squares. Serve with salami, cheese or small fried fish like smelt.Each bag contains 1.1 pounds of Artisanal Organic Whole Grain Corn Flour by Tenuta Castello from Italy.
