Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.We start the season in Italy, then France and finally the UK, whose outdoor season begins later. The origin changes, and there are subtle shifts in character and flavour - as there should be because our asparagus tastes of a particular place and soil. Most Asparagus on the market comes from Peru, where the light, high-water table soil and a stable climate produce high yields of fast-growing, flavour-poor spears. Sourced during its natural season of April to June.
