Curiosities

"Capers in salt" (or "under salt") are the unopened buds of the caper plant, preserved in sea salt, which absorbs their aroma and volatile substances, transforming itself into an aromatic salt. This traditional Mediterranean preservation method allows the intense flavor of the capers to be retained, which are then used in various culinary preparations.

What is the caper plant?

Capers are the unopened buds of the caper plant (Capparis spinosa), native to Mediterranean regions.

How are they preserved?

• After harvesting, capers are placed under sea salt.
• The salting process causes the capers to release their plant water, an aromatic liquid that is absorbed by the salt.
• The capers absorb the salt, which darkens in color, taking on a more intense green hue.
• This preservation method, known as "under salt," enhances the flavor and aroma of the capers, preserving them for a long time.

How are they used?

• Before use, salted capers should be rinsed under running water to remove excess salt.
• They are very versatile and adapt to many Mediterranean preparations, including:
  • Salads (tomato, mixed, etc.)
  • Main courses (pasta, sauces)
  • Meat or fish main dishes
  • Pizzas and bruschettas
