The variety is an open-pollinated population and has historically been grown in the Piedmont region and other parts of Northern Italy. The name “Ottofile” translates as “eight-row,” which indicates the characteristic number of kernel rows on the cob.
The kernels belong to the flint type, have a red color, and contain antioxidants. The product is valued for its specific flavor and aromatic profile, described as biscuit-like, and is used in processing, in particular, for the production of stone-ground flour.
