Asparagus

The king of spring will conquer your stomach

The asparagus has always been very popular, and shortly after his detection it was not only extremely rare, but also expensive. The origins of the asparagus can be found in the medical field, as it has a diuretic impact on the body. Moreover the asparagus contains vitamin C, B1, B2, A and E as well as phosphor, potassium and calcium.

Also in Oltradige the popular asparagus is served. The king of spring is harvested especially in Terlano, Settequerce and Vilpiano between March and the end of May.
For a country like South Tyrol it is quite obvious that culinary asparagus weeks are organised every year. During these weeks, delicious and imaginative asparagus plates are prepared. Enjoy the delicate flavour of asparagus with the so called "Bozner Sauce"... you will love it!

Our recommendation: also take a glass of exquisite wine, for example the "Terlaner Sauvignon", which accompanies asparagus very well.
