La Catedral de Navarra White Asparagus – Extra Large Spanish Spears 325g

La Catedral de Navarra white asparagus arrives in glass jars as thick, pale spears — the hallmark of Navarre's riverside tradition. These are extra-large specimens, graded 6/8 (meaning 6 to 8 spears per 325-gram jar), packed in their own light brine to preserve delicacy and snap. A Spanish tapas board staple and a centerpiece for the discerning cook.

About this product

White asparagus grows beneath mounded earth, shielded from sunlight, which keeps it tender and mild. Navarre's climate and rich soil produce some of Spain's most prized varieties. These spears are harvested at peak thickness, blanched, and jarred fresh — a labour-intensive product that rewards simplicity in the kitchen. The brine is minimal, allowing the natural flavor to dominate.
