Wild Asparagus
Wild asparagus (Asparagus acutifolius) — thin, green spears foraged in Italy. These are not cultivated asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) — they are a different species entirely, found growing wild in scrubland, hedgerows and rocky ground across the Mediterranean. The spears are much thinner than farmed asparagus, typically pencil-width or finer, and the flavour is more concentrated: a more intense, slightly bitter, grassy asparagus character with a firmer texture and a nuttiness that cultivated asparagus lacks.
Wild asparagus has a short season and is foraged rather than farmed, which means availability is limited and supply is not guaranteed. The spears vary in thickness and length — this is a wild product and it looks like one. Use quickly after receipt — wild asparagus does not keep as well as farmed asparagus and is best eaten within a day or two.
Origin: French
Ingredients: Wild asparagus (Asparagus acutifolius).
Storage: Refrigerate. Use within 1–2 days of receipt. Stand upright in a glass with a small amount of water if storing overnight.
