Club del Gourmet White Asparagus – Extra Large Spears 425g

Club del Gourmet's white asparagus comes from the carefully cultivated beds of central Spain, where the blanching technique—burying the shoots beneath mounded earth—yields tender, ivory spears with a delicate, almost sweet character. These extra-large specimens are packed at peak ripeness in their own light brine, preserving the subtle texture that makes Spanish white asparagus distinct from its green counterpart.

About this product

Six substantial spears per tin promise a single generous serving or a elegant addition to a composed plate. The pale color signals minimal oxidation and careful handling from field to can. Unlike thinner varieties, these hold their shape through gentle reheating and pair beautifully with a simple vinaigrette or a drizzle of good mayonnaise. The brine is restrained—the asparagus flavor remains the star.

How to enjoy

• Drain and serve chilled as part of a Spanish tapa spread with jamón and manchego.
• Arrange on a plate with jamón ibérico, quail eggs, and a Dijon emulsion.
• Add to a spring salad with new potatoes, soft-boiled eggs, and sherry vinaigrette.
• Gently warm in butter and finish with fleur de sel for a simple side to grilled fish or poultry.

⭐ Why we love this

White asparagus is the aristocrat of Spanish vegetables, and Club del Gourmet's extra-large spears exemplify the craft of the blanching tradition perfected in central Spain. The delicate, almost buttery sweetness and tender texture are impossible to replicate with frozen or fresh alternatives—this is genuine seasonal luxury preserved at its peak.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve chilled with a crisp Albariño or a bone-dry Fino sherry for a classic Spanish tapa experience. Alternatively, warm gently in butter and pair with grilled white fish and a glass of unoaked white Rioja for an elegant spring dinner.
