What is polenta?

Polenta is a very fine, yellow-colored semolina made from corn flour. It is mainly found in Italian cuisine or in the south of France where it is found under the name milhàs or cruchade.

It is cooked in a very simple way since it suffices to cook it in water to obtain a kind of porridge that looks like a potatoe puree. The cooked polenta can then be baked for a firmer texture.

Polenta is ideal for people with gluten intolerance because it does not contain gluten.
