Product Description
This jar encapsulates a dream: the revival of Racale capers, a once-iconic crop in Salento that is at risk of disappearing. A story rooted in community, crafted by dedicated farmers who harvest precious capers, one by one, through long hours of hard work.
Today, as in the past, we continue this tradition, carrying out the work by hand. After harvest, we wash and remove the stalks from the capers, then leave the capers to cure in salt for 3-4 months—a crucial step to remove any bitterness. It is a labour of time and care. Our capers are then ready to be packed into jars, mixed with sea salt from the Margherita di Savoia salt-works.
Thanks to their firm, crisp and juicy pulp, they were awarded the title of Best Capers in Italy by Gambero Rosso. A Slow Food speciality, ready to elevate any plate with just 24 calories per 100 g: just rinse them with water and toss them into a salad, or use them as pizza topping or in your cooking.
