What canned sweet corn is
Sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata) is a vegetable harvested at the milky stage, when the kernels are at their sweetest. Canning in a light water, sugar and salt brine seals in that sweetness and crunch, making the product available all year round without seasonal limits. The Ristoris range is marked "processed from fresh" (Lavorato dal fresco), meaning the corn is canned shortly after harvest to preserve texture and flavour.
The Ristoris brand
Ristoris is an Italian company based in Broni, in the province of Pavia (Lombardy), specialised in selecting and distributing Italian food specialities for the catering trade worldwide. Its sweet corn line is a food-service standard, chosen for the consistency of kernel size, colour and sweetness batch after batch.
