Classic yellow Bramata is a rustic, coarse-ground yellow cornmeal from Northern Italy (Lombardy), prized for its intense nutty and sweet corn flavor, hearty texture, and golden color. Serve soft as a base for stews, mushrooms, or meats, or spread onto a wooden board to firm up. For a rich, creamy, and decadent version, consider a ratio of 1 part polenta to 8 parts liquid (using a mix of heavy cream and milk), cooked for about an hour.
