Abstract: A frozen ready-made polenta in the form of frozen granules or flakes with a greater dimension of 1-60 mm and an average weight ?6.0 g, homogeneous in size and able to be thawed and/or heated rapidly to produce polenta having texture and organoleptic characteristics of freshly cooked polenta; a process for producing a frozen ready-made polenta in the form of granules or flakes, comprising steps of: providing a traditional polenta at a temperature ?40° C.; dividing it into semifinished products in the form of granules or flakes; deep-freezing the semifinished products by keeping them into a bath of a liquid at a temperature of ??30° C. for a first time interval, thus obtaining partially deep-frozen granules or flakes of polenta; subjecting such granules or flakes for a second time interval to a second deep-freezing step at a temperature between ?90° C. and ?30° C., thus obtaining deep-frozen granules or flakes of polenta.
