Otto File Flint Corn

An ancient First Nations flint corn once driven to extinction here in New England, but not before becoming a prized kitchen staple of Italy’s working class. For culinary purists, Otto File is perhaps the only flint corn capable of producing a truly authentic Italian polenta, for it was this variety from which the modern rendition of the dish was first created. High levels of nutritious antioxidant carotenoids give this variety its distinctive golden hue and rich buttery flavor.
