It was during the Press Tour organised by OPO Veneto in collaboration with the Consorzio di tutela dell'Asparago di Badoere IGP, on the occasion of the 48th Badoere Exhibition, that journalists and bloggers from all over Italy visited our asparagus fields.
Before any preparation, it is important to carefully clean the asparagus, especially near the apex bracts, where grains of earth easily enter.

Of all vegetables, asparagus is the one that requires almost entirely manual processing and the use of tools borrowed from our grandparents, and great-grandparents, by now.
Part of our production comes from asparagus trees planted in greenhouses.
A few years ago, rummaging through books on a stall at an antiques market, we accidentally discovered some old volumes by a contemporary painter unknown to us: Fabio Aguzzi.
