Floriani Red Flint Corn
A family heirloom from the Valsugana valley of Italy near Trento, originally brought to Italy from America, this variety evolved over hundreds of years to become the staple polenta corn of the valley. Introduced by SESE and Fedco Seeds in 2009, it features beautiful medium- to deep-red kernels that are slightly pointed, and the cornmeal has a pink cast that makes polenta with a remarkably rich, complex flavor. Plants grow 7–10 feet tall, slightly smaller and faster maturing than other varieties.
