Ambassador for this local product
Every two years a new asparagus queen is crowned at the opening of the Terlano asparagus season. Since 2024 asparagus queen Susanne Geier represents the asparagus triangle Terlano-Vilpiano-Settequerce and Terlano asparagus at events at home and abroad.
Susanne, who is actually studying pharmacy, will be an ambassador for the royal vegetable as Terlano Asparagus Queen. She wants to promote the appreciation of healthy locally grown vegetables. According to the Asparagus Queen, consumers should become more aware of the high quality of "Margarete" asparagus, "so that they understand what makes Terlano asparagus unique and why it is worthwhile to process it and treat themselves to it every now and then when visiting a restaurant."

What would be the Terlan asparagus without its typical sauce?
The full-flavoured addition to the royal vegetable has a longstand tradition, which goes back almost as long as the consumption of asparagus in Terlan and was invented decades ago in the former guesthouse “Huber Schwarz” in Terlan. The quality of the eggs is very important for the taste of the Bozner sauce. For this reason the asparagus hosts use only free-range and organic eggs with the South Tyrolean seal of quality for the preparation of Bozner sauce.
The Schlernhof cooperative (Kastelruth) and the Eggerhof (Aldein) are the egg producers with the South Tyrolean seal of quality.

The goldsmith Hansjörg Kerschbaumer of Terlan took 70 hours to create the crown of the Asparagus Queen. The Queen's shining sign of distinction is made of silver and decorated with a golden "Margarete" emblem, several pearls and a stone. It was commissioned and donated by the founder of the Terlan Asparagus Season, the unfortunately deceased Helmut Huber.
In 2007, Gaby Puff was the first asparagus queen to be crowned with the precious jewel. Since then, every new asparagus queen is delighted to be able to adorn herself with the crown.

For years, the Raiffeisenkasse Etschtal has actively supported the Terlan asparagus season.
The realization of the various culinary events around the Terlaner Spargelzeit would not have been possible without the support of the Raiffeisenkasse Etschtal.
