Salted Capers from Pantelleria

Authentic Sicilian Salted Capers from Pantelleria, Sicily

Giannetti Artisans Sicilian Salted Capers from Pantelleria are imported from the volcanic island of Pantelleria, located off the coast of Sicily. Prized for their intense aroma, firm texture, and distinctive savory flavor, these traditional Italian capers bring the authentic taste of Mediterranean cooking to your kitchen.

Naturally preserved in sea salt, these capers retain their characteristic flavor without the need for vinegar or artificial preservatives.

A Traditional Sicilian Specialty

Pantelleria is renowned for its caper cultivation, a tradition shaped by the island’s volcanic soil, Mediterranean climate, and generations of farming expertise.

The island’s capers are celebrated for their aromatic qualities and are associated with the protected geographical designation Cappero di Pantelleria IGP (Protected Geographical Indication).

Harvested as unopened flower buds, capers are preserved in salt using traditional methods that help develop their concentrated flavor and characteristic texture.

Perfect for Authentic Mediterranean Recipes

These Sicilian salted capers are a versatile ingredient for Italian cooking. Add them to pasta sauces, tomato-based dishes, roasted vegetables, meat preparations, salads, and Mediterranean condiments.

Their bold, pleasantly briny flavor complements olives, tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh herbs.

Before using: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove excess salt. For a milder flavor, soak briefly in fresh water and drain.
