Corn was introduced to Italy from the New World in the 16th century and quickly became popular when it was ground into fine flour and used to create one of the favourite dishes of northern Italy – polenta. Today, particularly in the north of Italy, polenta is preferred to pasta.

Whether served in a firm wedge or a steaming thick puddle, polenta makes a wonderful warm side dish that complements so many other flavours – vegetables, meats, tomato based sauces, stews, cheese or just served alone, the possibilities are endless.
