PRIM'LAND announces Sabline® asparagus season in France

With the arrival of Spring, fresh Sabline® asparagus is back on offer. To keep up with demand, PRIM'LAND is developing partnerships with asparagus farmers from numerous producing areas in France.

Over 200 tons of white and purple Sabline® asparagus is expected this season from the South West and Val de Loire. The S.W. is the largest French asparagus production area (available from mid-March to beginning of June). The Val de Loire has asparagus from beginning of April to mid-June. Sabline® will also be available under a quality label: Indication Géographique Protégée de Navarre (Protected Geographical Indication). The Navarre has a long-held family tradition in asparagus farming. The Ebre valley is particularly well-known for its unique soil as well as its climate that favours asparagus growth. The Navarre producers primarily use local varieties known for their tenderness and whiteness- of high caliber and incomparable taste. The Navarre obtained the IGP in 2003. Over 100 tons will be available this year between the end of March and mid-June.
