Nutritional values

The semolina obtained from corn owes its beautiful colour to the vitamin A it contains, which also gives us a beautiful skin colour. Milk and cheese also contribute a good portion of bone-strengthening calcium. Pleasing for figure-conscious people: the tasty porridge only provides fat and calories in minimal amounts.

In northern Italy, "polenta" made from the nutritious corn semolina of the same name is highly popular as an accompaniment to roasts, roulades and other stews. Try the polenta together with our braised savoy cabbage roulade. If you like, you can add that little extra to the fine porridge with a knob of butter on top.
