About Cheddar polenta

Cheddar Polenta is a creamy, savory dish rooted in Italian cuisine, traditionally made from coarsely ground cornmeal simmered in water or broth until smooth. This version incorporates sharp cheddar cheese, adding richness and a bold flavor profile to the classic dish. Polenta is naturally gluten-free and offers a good source of carbohydrates for energy, alongside small amounts of dietary fiber, B vitamins, and iron. The addition of cheddar provides protein and calcium but increases its saturated fat and sodium content, making portion control important for balanced nutrition. Popular as a comforting side or versatile base for toppings, Cheddar Polenta is a satisfying choice that blends traditional technique with indulgent flavors.
