In recent years, many lovers of good food have grown increasingly fond of asparagus, which is now considered a true delicacy and is also extremely popular with congress guests from all over the world. In order for Union Hotels to meet their own needs as far as the supply of asparagus is concerned, they have opted for integrated production of this spring vegetable, which is, due to the rare attempts at home growing, greatly valued both in Slovenia and elsewhere.

In addition to the vegetable’s first-class quality, another advantage of this type of asparagus cultivation is that asparagus can be served to their guests on the same day it is harvested. In fact, on the very same day, the Ramovš farm delivers asparagus to Union Hotel’s central kitchen, where their chefs lovingly turn it into countless different dishes. Especially popular is Union’s Asparagus Hopel-Popel and here is what you need to prepare this simple but delicious dish.
