Spring from the region: tradition, asparagus and a recipe that inspires

Quellmed Skincare isn't just a company—it's a piece of home. As a traditional Nienburg family, we are proud of our roots and our close ties to our region. Our history is deeply rooted in Lower Saxony, and this is reflected not only in the quality of our products, but also in the values ​​that guide us as a company.

What many people don't know: Our family and our team are closely connected to a very special topic – asparagus. The Nienburg region produces the highest quality asparagus, and many of our team members come from families that have been cultivating this delicious delicacy for generations. For us, asparagus is more than just a seasonal vegetable – it's a symbol of tradition, sustainability, and a close connection to nature. Just as in the production of our Quellmed products, we rely on the best that nature has to offer, without compromise.

The Nienburg Asparagus Fountain – a true landmark of our homeland, celebrating the region's long tradition of asparagus cultivation. Here, in the heart of Nienburg, history meets nature and reminds us of the connection between tradition and fresh regionality.
