Aperitif caperberries

Description

Our caperberries are marinated in a sweet prosecco syrup with a hint of vinegar. Their firm, crunchy flesh pops under the teeth, revealing a surprising tangy caramelized flavour.

Uses

Deliciously sweet, our caperberries are a superb complement to charcuterie and cheese platters. Serve them as a hors d'oeuvre instead of olives and pickles, or chop them finely into a beef or salmon tartare. They will add a hint of sweetness to your smoked salmon bagels.

Artisan

The De Laurentiis family owns an artisanal business in the Abruzzo mountain region. For two generations, it has been drawing on traditional ingredients and know-how to offer products with an authentically Italian taste. The family grows organic tomatoes, saffron and other seasonings on its own plots of land, and turns them into sauces and condiments thanks to a veritable regiment of cooks who busily tend the ovens.

Origin

Roccascalegna, Abruzzo, Italy.

History and anecdotes
