Asparago Bianco di Bassano

The precious white asparagus of Bassano is derived from the Chiaro di Bassano ecotype and grown in the Veneto's province of Vicenza where the plant thrives in the mild climate and sandy, well-drained soil along the Brenta river. The distinctive white color of Bassano asparagus is actually the result of an underground cultivation method which prevents photosynthesis of the plants. Asparago Bianco di Bassano has a long history of cultivation dating back to the 1500s when the documents of the Serene republic described it as a noble food offered to important guests at receptions and banquets.

Their tenderness and delicate aroma make Bassano asparagus perfect for various risottos, soups, pasta dishes and salads.
