Asparagus from the sands of the Landes
Discovery
Asparagus from the sands of the Landes is a real gastronomic nugget, appreciated for its delicate flavour and tender texture. This white asparagus is grown in unique conditions with sandy soil, perfect for growing asparagus.
Much more than just a vegetable
Asparagus has been grown on the Landes for several centuries. It was only in the 19th century that production really took off, thanks in particular to improvements in farming techniques. Today, Landes sand asparagus is protected by a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) attesting to its origin and quality. Landes sand asparagus is the fruit of an exceptional terroir, ancestral know-how and a strong commitment to quality and the environment.
It owes its whiteness to the fact that it is grown under mounds of sandy soil and picked before it has seen the sun (unlike green or purple asparagus).
