Rufino Wild Asparagus in Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Spanish Conserva 350g

Rufino's wild asparagus spears arrive whole and glistening in extra virgin olive oil from the same Spanish harvest. These are trigueros — slender, grassy-sweet green asparagus with a slight earthiness — preserved at peak tenderness. Unlike delicate white asparagus, trigueros hold their bite and mineral flavor through the confiting process, making them as much a condiment as a vegetable.

About this product

Each spear is hand-selected and immersed in cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, a preservation method that deepens rather than masks the asparagus's natural character. The result is a sophisticated conserva that tastes of the field and the orchard together. Serve chilled or at room temperature, straight from the jar or as part of a composed plate.

How to enjoy

• Arrange on a slate platter with jamón and manchego for a Spanish tapa board.
• Toss into a warm potato salad with sherry vinegar and walnut oil.
• Top grilled fish or white bean soup with a handful of spears and their oil.
• Layer into a sandwich with serrano ham, roasted red peppers, and creamy cheese.

⭐ Why we love this

Trigueros are Spain's answer to asparagus — wilder, grassier, and far more resilient than their pale Spanish cousins. Rufino's hand-selection and cold-pressed olive oil preservation honors the vegetable's mineral character, creating a conserva that works equally well as a solo tapa or a sophisticated garnish.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve with a chilled Albariño or crisp Verdejo to echo the asparagus's grassy minerality, or pair with a dry Fino sherry for a classic Spanish aperitif. For food, they're sublime atop grilled white fish, scattered over burrata, or alongside cured jamón as part of a composed tapa plate.

📍 From Spain

Rufino sources these trigueros from Spain's vegetable-growing regions, where wild green asparagus thrives in spring. The brand's commitment to hand-selection and small-batch confiting reflects the artisanal tradition of Spanish conservas — preserving peak-season produce in its own finest oil.
