Pantelleria Capers in Sea Salt, 1.10 Pound
The caper bush is a spiny shrub that flourishes wild all over the Mediterranean. The aroma and appearance of the pink blossoms is part of the landscape.The buds are harvested when they're about the size of a kernel of corn, then covered in salt for twenty days. After that, they're aged for a couple months. It's during this time that the floral aroma and flavor we recognize in good capers come out.Most capers in the U.S. are jarred in a brine, which overwhelms them. Brined capers just taste salty. These are different. Packed in sea salt-which comes off easily when soaked in warm water for five minutes-they retain their nuanced flavors.
