The producer
Il Cappero Selargino - Selargius (CA) - Sardinia
Why we chose them
The caper is present in the Mediterranean area before recorded time, always used for food and medicines. In Sardinia, the cultivation of capers -
tapparas in Sardinian - has characterized Selargius since early 1800s. A few decades ago, due to land abandonment, was about to be forgotten. Il
Cappero Selargino has rediscovered this traditional crop thanks to Marco Maxia, who has dedicated many years to the study of the cultivation of
caper carrying out research in Selargius and other area, such as Pantelleria, to find a place to restore capers' value. The union between innovation
and respect for tradition gives rise to a range of high-quality product, mild, succulent and appreciated by the finest palates
