About Polenta di storo

Polenta di Storo is a traditional Italian dish originating from Northern Italy, particularly the Trentino region. Made from ground flour of Storo corn, a unique variety grown locally, this polenta boasts a rich golden color and a distinctively nutty flavor. The primary ingredient—Storo cornmeal—is mixed with water and a pinch of salt, creating a hearty, rustic dish. Polenta di Storo is naturally gluten-free and high in dietary fiber, making it a nutritious option for digestive health. It is also low in fat, unless enriched with butter, cheese, or meats, which are often added for flavor in authentic recipes. While its simple preparation makes it a wholesome addition to meals, its nutritional profile depends heavily on accompanying ingredients. A staple of mountain cuisine, Polenta di Storo is celebrated for its earthy taste and versatility in pairing with hearty and savory dishes.
