Polenta from two varieties of flour Polenta is an old dish made from ground cereals, and is distributed mainly in the north of Italy, particularly in the Alpine and near-Alpine regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Valle d'Aosta. Types of polenta depends on the composition of flour: mainly polenta includes corn flour, and in some areas a mixture of corn and buckwheat flour is common. Polenta ramming is very common in Valtellina, Bergamo and Brescia. Its name comes from the word "tarai", which means "long stick", which historically prevented polenta. The brown color of the ram is answered by the buckwheat flour that enters into it, which gives it even more useful qualities. Usually the ram is accompanied by fresh cheeses, and various salami and ham.
