Panzani Mămăligă Express Bio is a premium, pre-cooked (pre-boiled) organic cornmeal product designed for quick preparation of traditional polenta, known as mămăligă in Romania. The brand Panzani has a rich history rooted in Italian culture, founded by Jean Panzani in 1950 in France. Over the decades, it evolved from a local pasta maker into a leading international brand specializing in pasta, sauces, and semolina products.

While the brand has deep French and Italian connections, its ownership has transitioned through major global food conglomerates. Currently, the Panzani brand is owned by the CVC Capital Partners (following an acquisition from the Spanish Group Ebro Foods in 2021). For specific regional markets like Romania, products like the Mămăligă Express are often manufactured in facilities across Europe, frequently in Italy or France, to maintain high certification standards for their organic (Bio) line.

In Romania, the brand is highly recognized for its quality and ease of use, often distributed through local subsidiaries or established trade partners. The 'Express' line is particularly popular for reducing the cooking time of traditional dishes to just three minutes while maintaining the nutritional profile of organic corn.
