| Description | Biancoperla is a maize variety with ivory, pearl white grains, very typical of the north east of Italy |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Stone milled as in the past, it has a fine-grained which enhances its organolectic qualities |
| Taste | Polenta made with Biancoperla corn flour is very creamy, delicate and full of aroma |
| Curiosity | Because of its very low yield, during the last century it has been replaced almost everywhere by a more productive corn variety. Only a few farmers keep Biancoperla production and saved the variety, which is now a Slow Food Presìdium. Thanks to these farmers, we can still taste a polenta full of flavour, fragrance and memories |
| Our selection | We like this flour because the polenta obtained is extremely delicate and creamy, almost velvety. Perfect for those who want a "gourmet" polenta |
| Suggestions | It requires a long cooking, at least one hour stiring quite often, better in a copper pot as in the past |

Why we chose them
Eco-sustainability is a word with many meanings: attention, care, respect for natural resources. At Borgoluce, eco-sustainability is perceived as an
asset. Borgoluce is an estate with 1,220 hectares, held by Collalto family since the XII century. An intact environment made of pastures,
woodlands,
farms, arable fields, vineyards, orchards, canals, mills, dairies. In past, this variety enabled the family to produce everything necessary for daily life.
Today, this tradition remains: it is called biodiversity. Environmental responsibility pervades every activity and is expressed in the use of renewable
sources for the agro-energy production. The energy comes from the by-products of woodlands, animal farms and plantations. Wood is burned by a
biomass boiler, while a biodigester transforms animal dung and cereal silage into biogas, producing the electric energy used in the farm and the
thermal energy that heats the buffalo sheds. Giuliana, Ninni and Caterina Collalto with her mother Trinidad and the husband of Caterina, Ludovico
Giustiniani are committed to increase the value of this land, a unique heritage in Veneto
