A great chance to get hold of some traditional Italian polenta at a great price. Don't miss out - very few pieces remaining.

Delicious traditional polenta is so easy to prepare, just add water, heat and stir. This is the yellow polenta flour made from carefully selected maize cultivated in the Po Valley in north Italy (best quality) which is finely ground to make a smooth, yellow polenta.

Polenta is an incredibly versatile ingredient and makes a great alternative to potatoes, rice or pasta. Use it as a side to meat dishes or as a base for hearty ragu sauces.

Comes in a 750g bag.

As impressive as it is simple, a perfectly natural product that is so easy to prepare.

Truffles always produce best results when combined with something simple like potatoes or eggs and when black truffles from Umbria are milled together with a quality polenta flour, the result is stunning.

Delicious on its own as a starter with Parmesan cheese or as a base for ragu-type sauces (try it with Porcini mushrooms) or as a side to many grilled or roast meats. This is one of our favourite products, everyone at Med Direct has a couple of jars in the kitchen! Original, simple and addictive!

Serves 4 good portions. Very long shelf-life.

Delicious cous-cous made from high quality Italian durum wheat.

It has a lovely intense golden colour and medium grain, which is smaller than most cous-cous commonly found today. The grains are also irregularly shaped, just like a real homemade version!

It has been specially produced to have an incredibly low moisture content. This has 2 benefits. It can be stored for long periods and it has superb hydroscopic properties, which means during cooking, it will absorb a huge amount of liquid, so much it actually triples in weight! That's precisely what you want from a good cous-cous.

It is perfect for all the classic recipes from N Africa, the Middle East, not forgetting Sicily and Calabria too. Granoro cous-cous is also excellent as a base for scrumptious desserts.

THis is a large 1kg box. Plenty for everyone and keeps for ages!
