Club del Gourmet White Asparagus Tips – Extra Thick 8–12 Pieces 205g

White asparagus tips from Club del Gourmet represent the refined end of Spanish canning: delicate, pale shoots harvested at peak tenderness and preserved in brine. Each jar contains 8–12 extra-thick spears — substantial enough to anchor a plate, yet tender enough to eat with a fork. Sourced and packed in Spain, these are the kind of conserva that justifies keeping a shelf dedicated to them.

About this product

These are the growing tips of white asparagus, blanched and carefully graded for uniform thickness and length. White asparagus is milder and slightly more delicate than green varieties, with a subtle, almost mineral sweetness. The preservation method — gentle cooking and cool brining — maintains their firm yet yielding texture. Club del Gourmet is El Corte Inglés's own gourmet line, known for rigorous sourcing and honest labeling.

How to enjoy

• Arrange on a plate with a drizzle of good olive oil and fleur de sel
• Add to a composed salad with fresh herbs and sherry vinaigrette
• Pair with eggs — tortilla, scrambled, or soft-boiled
• Include in a seafood or vegetable terrine

⭐ Why we love this

White asparagus is a Spanish delicacy that demands patience — the shoots are earthed up to prevent sunlight exposure, keeping them pale and supremely tender. Club del Gourmet's extra-thick tips capture this labor-intensive tradition in a jar: each spear is a statement of quality and care that elevates any meal from simple to refined.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these chilled with a glass of crisp Albariño or a dry Manzanilla sherry — the mineral salinity of both wines echoes the delicate sweetness of the asparagus. Alternatively, pair with jamón ibérico and aged Manchego for a classic Spanish tapa moment.
