Maizzen Red, Malted Red Floriani Corn
Floriani Red Flint Corn originated in the New England area of No. America. It was cultivated by Native Americans and seeds were taken back to Italy by ships returning from the colonies. The variety remained there for hundreds of years, cultivated for making polenta. This malted red flint corn tastes of toffee, dandelions, sunflower seeds, and moist earth and provides a distinctive lightly toasted corn flake aroma. This malted corn can be used to make a unique world class bourbon! There is no need to pre-boil the malted corn. It has good extract. The bourbon it makes is otherworldly, a tasty step towards a malt based whiskey but with all its bourbon character.
Fritz Durst, who grows conventional and organic Patwin wheat in the Woodland area for Admiral Maltings, cultivates Red Floriani on organically certified, irrigated lands. He is a "regenerative" farmer and typically raises a winter cover crop prior to his spring planting of the corn. The cover crop is first tilled into the soil, poultry manure is added as an amendment, and then the corn is planted into moisture along with a liquid seaweed extract to provide micro nutrients. He irrigates the corn about 5 times throughout the summer and harvests dry corn in early September. This corn usually yields around 3,000 lbs/acre versus organic feed corn, which averages 9,000 lbs./ac.
