Spar White Asparagus

Spar White Asparagus is a canned vegetable product sold under the private label of Spar, an international retail chain. While Spar was founded in the Netherlands in 1932 by Adriaan van Well, it operates through a unique federated model where independent wholesalers and retailers use the brand name across more than 48 countries.

The specific product shown, 'Espárragos Blancos Cortos' (Short White Asparagus), is marketed for the Spanish and Portuguese markets. Typically, these asparagus spears are sourced and manufactured in China, which is one of the world's leading producers of white asparagus for export, to maintain competitive pricing for private label goods. Ownership of the brand identity rests with Spar International based in Amsterdam, but local operations and supply chains are managed by regional subsidiaries, such as Spar Española in Spain.
