Question 1

How do I store cornmeal and finished polenta?

Accepted Answer

Our organic polenta cornmeal is best stored in a cool and dry place. For airtight storage, our stylish storage jars are suitable. If the cornmeal has already been processed into polenta, you should store the leftovers in the refrigerator and eat them as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can also freeze finished polenta. To do this, freeze polenta individually in slices and fry until golden brown after thawing.

Question 2

How to prepare creamy polenta from corn semolina?

Accepted Answer

The preparation of polenta from corn semolina is very simple: stir 1 part corn semolina into about 4 parts boiling water. Simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring, depending on the desired consistency. Add liquid as needed. Remove the pot from the heat and let the golden polenta stand for another 5 minutes. Polenta can be refined with salt, oil or butter and herbs such as rosemary, thyme or nutmeg. Polenta also becomes a bit spicier if you use vegetable broth instead of water. On the other hand, it tastes mild and creamy if you prepare polenta with milk or a vegetable drink (here, too, the ratio is 1:4). A good family size is 250 grams of uncooked cornmeal to about 1 liter of liquid. Polenta, however, is very filling. As a rule, about 80 grams per person are sufficient as a main course and about 50 grams of uncooked cornmeal as a side dish.

Question 3

Is corn semolina and therefore polenta gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Corn is a gluten-free cereal. Our corn semolina consists of 100% ground corn and therefore only gluten-free ingredients. However, gluten-containing grains are also processed in our producer's mills. Despite thorough cleaning and sealed storage, contamination can never be 100% ruled out in a plant where both gluten-free and gluten-containing production takes place. For this reason, we do not label our corn semolina as "gluten-free" and voluntarily point out that traces of gluten may be contained in our product.
