    Capers NonPareil: Bellissimo

    $9.29

    Capers are the edible buds of the capparis spinosa plant, a bush that is native to the Mediterranean region.
    After handpicking, capers are traditionally pickled and then jarred.
    This easy brining combination ensures that the caper delivers an unadulterated tart and salty flavor to all of your best dishes.

    Non-pareilles capers are the smallest and most desirable variety of capers. To be considered a non-pareil, the caper cannot measure over seven millimeters. Non-pareilles are picked off the capparis spinosa bush early to keep their small size. The French coined the name non-pareil (meaning “without equal”) because they consider these small capers to be the finest variety by far.

    Capers are frequently used to add flavor to appetizers. They are also wonderful when added to sauces and main dishes, especially veal, pasta and fish entrees. Try topping traditional deviled eggs with this tiny vegetable to a delicious update to a classic recipe. Some people even suggest frying non-pareilles capers for a crispy and nutty crunch when added to salads and other vegetable dishes!

    For those who wish to order these non-pareilles capers in bulk, we have a 32-ounce jar. This size is great if you are a professional chef who uses capers in the kitchen or if you are a cook who really just loves these specialty capers!

    Wild Caperberries: Roland

    $3.79

    Roland Brand Wild Caperberries in Brine 15.75 oz.

    People are often confused as to the difference between capers and caperberries.
    Wild caperberries are the fruit of the caper bush (capparis spinosa) while capers are simply the immature buds.
    The berries are oblong, slightly green fruits that are about the size of a grape.
    They grow wild throughout the Mediterranean area, have a much milder taste than capers (due to a smaller amount of acid) and also have a slight lemon flavor.
    The famous Roland brand brings us gourmet caperberries that are brined in water, salt and vinegar.
    These caperberries in brine have a zesty tang almost reminiscent of eucalyptus and a slightly grainy texture that will delight your taste buds.

    There are so many ways to use this unique vegetable. Generally, these berried are enjoyed in the same way you eat olives or pickles. Try using them to make an appetizer tray with some fresh bread and olive oil. Or substitute them for olives in pasta dishes, Greek salads and even martinis for a new and interesting flavor. Use these caperberries as a garnish for cuts of lamb, in a chicken piccata recipe or in dishes with your favorite kind of seafood.

    Keep in mind that sliced caperberries work well in recipes that call for capers, especially if you wish to have the dish be less acidic. Just remember that substituting capers for carperberries rarely works.
