Flour of Formenton Otto File

From cormeal "otto file", also known as "Formenton", is made the flour from which yellow polenta is made. It is ground in a water mill and there is no substitute on the tables of the farm workers for many months of the year.

Polenta accompanied by baked mushrooms, with rabbit cooked "hunter's style", or, with Bolognese sauce and grated cheese are frequent ways of serving it. Flavoured with a single herring it was an excellent meal. It is best eaten hot, or, when cold , cut into slices and fried
