El Navarrico White Asparagus – Spanish Canned 9/12 Spears 500g

El Navarrico has perfected the art of canning white asparagus in the Navarra region since 1947. These 9/12 spears are hand-selected, peeled, and preserved in their own light brine — a delicate vegetable that tastes as tender and fresh as if just harvested. Each 500-gram tin contains substantial, whole spears that hold their shape and subtle, slightly sweet flavor.

About this product

White asparagus grows underground, shielded from sunlight, which gives it its pale color and milder, almost buttery taste compared to green varieties. El Navarrico sources from Spanish growers in the Ebro valley and uses minimal processing to lock in texture. The 9/12 grade refers to the number of spears per kilogram — a premium thickness that commands respect on any plate.

How to enjoy

• Serve chilled as a classic Spanish tapa with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel.
• Arrange on a plate with jamón ibérico and manchego cheese for a simple but elegant board.
• Warm gently in their own broth and serve as a vegetable side to grilled white fish or roasted chicken.
• Drain and add to a salad with sherry vinegar, red onion, and toasted almonds.

⭐ Why we love this

El Navarrico's white asparagus represents a uniquely Spanish delicacy—the pale, tender spears are a hallmark of Spanish gastronomy, treasured for their buttery sweetness and silky texture. Since 1947, this Navarra producer has maintained the exacting standards of hand-selection and minimal processing that make these 9/12 spears taste as if freshly picked, not canned.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve chilled with a crisp, unoaked white wine like Albariño or Txakoli from the Basque Country to complement the asparagus's delicate flavor. Alternatively, warm the spears gently and pair with grilled white fish and a glass of Verdejo for a refined Spanish supper.

📍 From Spain

El Navarrico sources premium white asparagus from the Ebro valley in Navarra, Spain's heartland for this celebrated crop. The region's limestone-rich soil and traditional cultivation methods—growing the spears underground to preserve their pale color and subtle sweetness—have made Navarra synonymous with the world's finest white asparagus for over seven decades.
