Description | Capers of medium size from Selargius, preserved with Sardinian salt, perfect to use in the kitchen |
---|---|
Appearance | Round in shape, compared to the elite they have a bigger size and a more rugged surface; some have the rosy tip |
Taste | Sweet, slightly savory |
Curiosity | The caper is a concentrate of perfume and flavour, recognisable both in taste and texture. Not to be confused, however, with 'cucunci' which came from the same plant but instead of being the bud (like capers) they are its fruit! |
Our selection | The kitchen yield of these capers is higher than common cappers: thanks to the lightly structure, for the same jar's weight, there are more |
Suggestions | Capers can be used in many recipes: on pizza, with fish like an amberjack tartare, with meatballs, in a summer couscous, in sauces and salads |

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
