Caperberries in Wine Vinegar(Frutti di Cappero)
While the powerfully piquant unopened caper buds pack the punch behind much of southern Italian cuisine, mature caperberries, the blossomed fruit of the caper, impart a rounder, milder and fruitier palate.
Cured traditionally in Italian wine vinegar, these caperberries should be rinsed prior to usage to remove excess brine.
Garnish your cheese trays or spreads of Italian charcuterie and pate. We also suggest perfecting your martini italiano with Italian caperberries.
