Delicate in texture and rich in asparagus flavor, this legendary product from Basque country is a unique and delicious addition to any appetizer or side dish.
Known for its thick stalks and bone-white color, this asparagus grows in cold conditions using the highest quality water and takes over one year to cultivate – some of that time in complete darkness – all of which give this humble vegetable its iconic look and taste.
Gently warm up the whole stalks and serve them with lemon zest and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, or for a more premium approach, thinly slice the stalks thin and serve them interspersed with layers of ventresca finished with a gentle dusting of grated bottarga
