Tasting Notes

These White Asparagus Spears from La Catedral de Navarra are a culinary treasure—tender, delicate, and entirely fiber-free, offering a melt-in-the-mouth texture and refined flavor. Grown in the fertile fields of Navarra, they are harvested between April and June, ensuring peak freshness and quality.

Unlike their green counterparts, these white asparagus grow beneath the soil and are harvested by hand at night, preventing sunlight exposure. This meticulous process protects their iconic pale color and preserves their uniquely subtle, sweet flavor.

Ready to Enjoy

While fresh white asparagus typically requires peeling and boiling, La Catedral de Navarra’s version is gently cooked and ready to eat straight from the jar—making it the perfect pantry staple for easy gourmet dishes.

• Elegant salads with vinaigrette or hollandaise

• Served alongside cured ham or soft cheeses

• In savory tarts or tapas spreads

• As a refined side dish for fish or poultry
