20 g extra virgin olive oil,

The versatility of asparagus, its pleasant and delicate taste allow to always obtain excellent results in the kitchen. The absence of color of the white asparagus depends on the particular method of cultivation that provides for the absence of light: it is harvested when it is still under the pile of soil with which it has been raised.
