Crema White Asparagus Spears – Spanish Canned, 8/10 Grade 325g

Crema's white asparagus spears come from Spain's most prestigious growing regions, hand-harvested and canned at peak tenderness. These short, thick stalks — graded 8/10, meaning eight to ten spears per can — are blanched and packed in a delicate cream sauce that lets their natural, slightly sweet flavor shine. Each 325-gram tin holds enough for a refined starter, a composed salad, or a traditional tapa.

About this product

White asparagus requires careful cultivation under soil to develop its pale color and mild character. Crema selects only the thickest, most uniform spears and preserves them in a light cream emulsion rather than brine, creating a velvety texture that distinguishes them from the vinegar-packed varieties. The 8/10 grading ensures consistency: you'll find the same substantial, meaty spear in every tin.

How to enjoy

• Serve chilled as a tapa with jamón serrano and crusty bread.
• Arrange on a plate with good olive oil, fleur de sel, and a turn of cracked pepper.
• Toss gently into warm potato salad or composed vegetable plates.
• Pair with seafood — particularly canned langostinos or white fish — for a light Spanish-style lunch.

⭐ Why we love this

Crema's white asparagus represents a cornerstone of Spanish fine-dining tradition—delicate, labor-intensive vegetables that command respect on the finest tables. The cream sauce is the authentic touch: rather than harsh vinegar, it honors the asparagus's subtle sweetness and creates that signature silky mouthfeel that defines a proper Spanish conserva.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these alongside a crisp Albariño or a dry Manzanilla sherry to cut through the cream's richness. They're equally sublime with canned langostinos or white crabmeat for an elegant Spanish-style seafood plate, or simply with ibérico ham and good pan tostado for a refined afternoon tapa.

📍 From Spain

Crema sources from Spain's legendary white asparagus heartlands, where centuries of soil-blanching technique have perfected the craft. These premium spears are processed and canned in Spain, ensuring the cream emulsion and grading standards meet the exacting expectations set by El Corte Inglés, Spain's ultimate arbiter of gourmet quality.
