It's asparagus time at Deco Quick®
Sausage Casing
June 3, 2024
When the first asparagus tips protrude from the ground, it's clear: spring is here! Lighter food is now in demand on the plates again, fresh herbs and spring vegetables are in season.
Even in the well-stocked Deco Quick® range, flavors adapted to the season cause a sensation. Above all, Deco Quick®type asparagus with its characteristic intense taste prepares spring-like enjoyment - especially in combination with masterful cooked ham. If you want to add asparagus flavour to cooked cured products "from the inside", it is best to use the universally applicable seasoning Lakarom asparagus.
