Polenta
Centaur Polenta 1kg is a fine ground maize flour used to make smooth, comforting polenta with a clean, neutral flavour that works across a wide range of dishes. When cooked slowly with water or stock it becomes creamy and soft, ideal for serving straight from the pan, or it can be cooled, sliced and grilled or baked for a firmer texture. A staple in Italian style cooking, polenta is valued for its versatility and its ability to carry other flavours well, from rich sauces to simple butter and cheese. This 1kg bag is well suited to regular home cooking as well as menu development in professional kitchens.
