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.
