El Navarrico White Asparagus 5/7 Spears – Canned Spanish Vegetables 500g

El Navarrico's white asparagus from Navarre arrives in the tin as it leaves the field: tender, pale, and tasting of earth and spring. The "5/7 frutos" designation means each 500-gram tin holds between five and seven carefully graded spears — substantial stalks that hold their shape when lifted. This is the asparagus your Spanish grandmother keeps in the pantry for unexpected guests or impromptu supper.

About this product

Grown in the wet meadows of northern Spain's Ebro valley, these white asparagus develop their delicate flavor because they never see sunlight. Canned shortly after harvest and preserved in brine, they retain the faint mineral sweetness that makes Spanish asparagus distinct from European alternatives. El Navarrico has been canning vegetables in Lodosa, Navarre, since 1948.

How to enjoy

• Serve chilled with a drizzle of good sherry vinegar and fleur de sel as a simple tapa.
• Arrange over soft goat cheese and crusty bread for a quick starter.
• Toss warm into a salad of white beans, jamón crisps, and vinaigrette.
• Top a slice of tortilla española for a traditional Spanish twist.

⭐ Why we love this

White asparagus is Spain's vegetable of spring—prized for its tender, delicate sweetness that only develops in darkness beneath the soil. El Navarrico's meticulous grading and same-day canning preserves that fleeting seasonal perfection year-round, making this a cornerstone of Spanish pantry tradition since 1948.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve chilled as a classic Spanish tapa with a glass of crisp Albariño or dry Fino sherry—the wine's mineral notes echo the asparagus's earthy character. For a warm main, toss into a salad with Serrano ham and pair with a light Txakoli from the Basque Country.

📍 From Spain

These spears come from the lush Ebro valley in Navarre, where the wet meadows and cool climate create ideal conditions for white asparagus cultivation. El Navarrico's family operation in Lodosa has perfected the art of field-to-tin preservation, earning their place as Spain's most respected canned vegetable producer.
