El Navarrico White Asparagus – Spanish Conserva 325g

El Navarrico's white asparagus are hand-harvested from Navarre's protected valley farms, where cool mountain water and slate-rich soil create the pale, tender spears prized across Spain. At 13 to 16 fruits per tin, these are substantial specimens — thick enough to hold their shape on a plate, delicate enough to dissolve on the tongue. Packed in glass within hours of harvest, they arrive in Spain's traditional brine: gentle, never sharp.

White asparagus grows entirely underground, protected from sunlight, which gives it a milder, almost sweet character compared to green varieties. El Navarrico has been canning these since the 1950s, using the same careful blanching and brining method. The result is a conserva that tastes of the vegetable itself, not the tin.

How to enjoy

• Serve chilled as a tapa with jamón and crusty bread.
• Drain and dress with Spanish extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and a squeeze of lemon.
• Add to a salad of soft cheeses and roasted peppers.
• Warm gently in their brine and pair with grilled white fish.

⭐ Why we love this

El Navarrico white asparagus represents a vanishing craft — hand-harvested, blanched by tradition, and canned within hours to preserve that delicate sweetness that only underground-grown spears possess. This is conserva the way Spanish grandmothers have served it since the 1950s: pure, unadulterated, and tasting entirely of itself.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve these chilled as an elegant tapa with a glass of crisp Albariño or bone-dry Fino sherry — the wine's acidity cuts beautifully against the asparagus's natural sweetness. For a warm course, drain and gently heat in their brine, then plate alongside grilled merluza (hake) and drizzle with your finest extra virgin olive oil.
