Veneto region They are a true excellence of the Veneto spring Each province in Veneto has its own variety of asparagus: Vicenza with white asparagus from Bassano;Treviso with the asparagus of Cimadolmo;and finally in the areas of Treviso Badoere asparagus is grown.White asparagus is high in fiber and low in calories They belong to the Liliaceae family and are a prized variety that is grown underground also protected from the sun’s rays with blackout cloths which are white shoots with a pleasant and delicate flavor from cutting to tying the bunches with raffia thread The length of the shoots is between 14 and 22 cm Asparagus originated in Mesopotamia but grew wild throughout southern Europe and the Egyptians spread them throughout the Mediterranean In Italy the first traces date back to Roman times We find traces in the writings of Marcus Porcius Cato It was the Romans themselves who brought them to Europe which is still one of the world’s largest producers Poland and Holland and later in the time of Louis XIV to France as well It was the Napoleonic army that introduced cultivation in Italy of a prized variety that was grown near Paris It was introduced to Piedmont and then to the rest of central and northern Italy The earliest traces in the Veneto date back to the 15th c They are mentioned in an expense note of the Serenissima Republic who passed through Bassano to taste the local delicacies Two legends are told about the actual spread in the Veneto region: on his return from Egypt and to please the terrible Ezzelino da Romano sowed some seeds in the territory of Bassano del Grappa before returning to Padua.The second tells of an entirely fortuitous and accidental discovery of white asparagus made by a Bassano farmer around 1500 he noticed that the part sticking out of the ground was completely ruined the white part that remained under the ground He thus realized that that part was also tastier so he began to harvest the asparagus before it spilled out Bassano PDO white asparagus is grown in 10 municipalities in the Bassano area: Bassano del GrappaCartigliano Veneto;Mussolente;Romano D’Ezzelino;Cassola;Pove del Grappa;Rossano Veneto;Rosà;Tezze

bitter-sweet taste and are very tender They should be kept in the refrigerator for a few days otherwise they lose their flavour events are organised in the production municipalities to celebrate their

association ‘La strada dell’asparago’ (the asparagus road) has been set up the municipality of Cimadolmo and all the other 10 municipalities this association organises events and tastings of the white
