Spargelzeit (Asparagus Season)
Germany’s beloved white asparagus season is here — short lived, hand harvested, and exquisitely delicate. Creamy, elegant, and best enjoyed simply with butter or hollandaise, this springtime treasure is pure seasonal luxury.
Members of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs will be celebrating Spargelzeit at an Asparagus Luncheon on the 30th of May, Stein’s Berlin, London’s most celebrated German restaurant.
