White asparagus
White asparagus, melting and delicate, with mild, slightly bitter notes.
White asparagus grows sheltered from light, which gives it its ivory colour and melting flesh. Its mild flavour, with a slight bitterness, is more delicate than that of green asparagus. It is carefully peeled, then boiled, steamed or roasted, and suits emulsified sauces.
