White Asparagus – ZONA
Spring in a jar. Tradition in every spear. ZONA White Asparagus carries the prestigious Designation of Origin Esparrago de Navarra — Europe's most iconic and protected white asparagus region — a mark of authenticity that guarantees these spears come from the very heart of Spain's white asparagus heritage, grown and prepared according to the strict traditional standards that have made Navarra famous worldwide.
The technique is ancient and remarkable. Throughout their entire growing season, these asparagus spears are kept completely shielded from sunlight — preventing the photosynthesis that would turn them green and preserving instead their soft, pale ivory color, their tender texture, and that uniquely delicate flavor with the gentle, balanced bitterness that defines great white asparagus. Hand-harvested at peak ripeness in spring and immediately preserved using a traditional pickling method passed down through generations of Navarrese producers — each spear arrives in the jar exactly as the region's ancestral cooks intended.
Low in sodium. Rich in natural vitamins and minerals. Elegant enough for the most refined entertaining and simple enough for everyday meals. The most classic preparation is also the best — serve chilled with a dollop of good mayonnaise and a glass of crisp Spanish white wine and discover one of the most enduring and beloved springtime pleasures in all of Spanish cuisine.
Perfect for: Springtime appetizers, salads, purées, garnishes for grilled meats and fish, vinaigrette dishes, antipasto boards, gourmet platters, and serving chilled with mayonnaise and wine.
