Mulino Marino Mais Integrale Macinata Grossa is a coarse organic whole corn flour designed for traditional long-cooking polenta.
Stone-milled from whole corn, this coarse grind creates a polenta with rustic texture, deep corn aroma, and a more traditional flavor than quick-cooking polenta. Mulino Marino recommends a long cooking time, which allows the corn to fully develop its natural sweetness and texture.
Use it for classic polenta, grilled or fried polenta slices, rustic corn dishes, and recipes where you want real stone-milled corn flavor.
