Assorted CapersReturn to Vegetables
If you’re looking for quality Italian capers, you’re at the right place! Penn Mac offers a wide variety of Italian capers from notable brands, all of which will suit your cooking, seasoning and appetizer needs. The majority of our capers come from the Salonika brand, which offers a great selection of large and small varieties, all pickled in classic mixtures of vinegar and brine. We also have capers from the Roland brand, which delivers to us tiny sized capers and wild caper berries.
A caper is the pickled bud from the capparis spinosa plant (commonly known as the caper bush). This plant grows in the Mediterranean region and produces pinkish-white flowers. What we use in our cooking is the edible bud or fruit (caper berry), which is most often used as a seasoning or garnish. After the bud is hand picked, the caper is a dark olive green color and often the size of a corn kernel. Once harvested, they are dried in the sun and then pickled using vinegar, brine, wine or salt to bring out their tangy flavor. Capers are also categorized by size, with the smallest sizes being the most precious and desirable. Regardless of size, capers are staples in Italian and Greek cuisine, and appreciated in fine cooking the world over.
