How the Spanish Enjoy Baigorri White Asparagus

White asparagus enjoys pride of place in Spanish homes and restaurants, particularly in northern Spain. Spaniards often serve these plump spears chilled, either on their own dressed with extra virgin olive oil, (EVOO) or as a centrepiece in vibrant salads with tomatoes, eggs, and local tuna.

In tapas bars, you might find them paired with cured ham, or gently heated and served with roasted red peppers. For festive occasions, a classic combination is white asparagus with a mild homemade mayonnaise or a drizzle of vinagreta, a zesty vinaigrette, highlighting the pure taste and delicate texture of the vegetable.

Whether enjoyed as a simple appetiser or part of a more elaborate dish, these asparagus embody the essence of Spanish gourmet tradition and convivial dining.
