Spanish term or phrase: en conserva al natural

SPAIN: Really 2 doubts here. Does "en conserva" always mean canned; and how do we say "al natural" in English. I usually understand it as "not pickled"...
"La cooperativa Centro Sur, más conocida como CESURCA, ubicada en Huétor Tájar, es la única cooperativa inscrita al Consejo Regulador, y por lo tanto la única autorizada para su comercialización, en fresco, en conserva al natural o en conserva en aceite de Oliva Virgen Extra, este último mencionado como “sublime” entre algunos chefs de España."

@neilmac - I think you can get them in jars too.

@Gilla: yes, you can get Spanish asparagus in a tin in water, citric acid and salt.

Hi Neil

19:39 Mar 14, 2011

This may well be no help at all, but here's a page headed "Las conservas: espárragos al natural" where you add salmuera, put them in "frascos" (which are surely jars), and then boil them for two hours. I have to say I would call this "preserving".
http://ileyconservas.tripod.com/id83.html
And here's another, very similar, again with brine and again cooked in closed containers (tarros this time). The latter is the "conserva" bit, it seems. You have to check the vacuum seal afterwards. See pp. 15-16:
http://sallavor.org/resources/conservacion-alimentos.pdf
The method reminds me of my Manchegan mother-in-law doing rabbit en escabeche.

Why not just go with "preserved" by itself?

Gilla Evans

17:16 Mar 14, 2011

I think you'll have to go for preserved in that case. Usually it is in jars, but you need to cover all possibilities. I have a jar in the cupboard, which is in brine. You may be able to get it in plain water (probably with citric acid added) but I'm not sure.

My problem is

17:12 Mar 14, 2011

that asparagus comes in cans AND bottles/jars... and other packaging...

Oliver Toogood

Sorry!

17:12 Mar 14, 2011

Hadn't noticed the Asker's additional context reply when I posted previously- conserved then in its own natural juices (plus water,obviously)

ASKER

Brine

17:11 Mar 14, 2011

is usally "salmuera". "Al natural" would usually mean no brine, no oil etc, maybe "natural" is the best option, although nowadays I associate that with "healthy" food advertising.

Oliver Toogood

En conserva

17:10 Mar 14, 2011

Often means canned, particularly if this is fish related, but preservation can be in bottles, jars, etc, depending on the item concerned.

Sorry

it ¡s about asparagus. Th AI must be from the last term I posted, it's been a busy day here...

schevallier

agree

17:08 Mar 14, 2011

with Gilla : "in brine"

neilmac

Spain

ASKER

Note: the glossaries

17:08 Mar 14, 2011

suggest "preserved" but I associate this with jams, chutneys or marmalade, not vegetables. That's why I'm posting the query. I know it's in the glossaries already so do not need reminding/nagging.

Gilla Evans

17:06 Mar 14, 2011

By the way, why did you put it under Artificial Insemination? The mind boggles, or pickles...

Gilla Evans

what is being canned?

17:06 Mar 14, 2011

If it is fish it is usually "in brine" or "in oil". I think your al natural is probably in brine.

3 hrs confidence:

canned

Explanation:
"canned asparagus"

should suffice, there is simply no other conventional way to put it and I, for one, see no reason to create something that doesn't exist because this is not litterature,

...plus, "canned" alone implies that it is "al natural" (any extra ingredient would be mentioned, otherwise,)

Nevertheless, I still think that most of the time, citric acid or any other mean of preservation/brine is still considered as "al natural" which is why I agree with Gilla

but, if you want your asparagus really "natural", then do not add anything to your description

IMHO ;)
