How Polenta Valsugana is born
Following a traditional method, high-quality maize grains are harvested when perfectly ripe, then sent to the mill, where they are carefully cleaned from any impurities and the finest maize grains are selected, then partially steam-cooked and ground into cornmeal.
With respect for an ancient tradition, the maize undergoes a simple and careful process: no other ingredients are added, just like women used to do in their own houses. Through this process, the creamy and velvety Polenta Valsugana brings to your table, in just a few minutes and without effort, its delicate taste, genuine aroma and health properties. As dictated by tradition.
Easy to prepare: Boil 1 and a half litres of water with 2 heaped spoonfuls of salt. Empty the sachet of cornmeal into the boiling water, mixing well. Keep stirring in the same direction using a wooden spoon. The polenta should take about 8 minutes to cook. Makes 4-5 servings.
Try it with ragu', mushroom sauce, or even with a simple tomato sauce.
