About This Product

Capers have been hand-picked across Puglia’s rocky coastlines for centuries. And these Classic Mediterranean capers from Hyde Farm are preserved in the traditional way using only salt — no vinegar, and no additives. Their tight texture and intense briny-floral character make them a powerful seasoning for sauces, salads, seafood and dressings. Rinse briefly before use, then enjoy their bold, zesty bite.

Serving Suggestions & Cooking Instructions

Preparation: Because these are preserved in 23% salt, they are incredibly potent. Before adding them to your dish, place the desired amount in a small sieve and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.

Method: For a more delicate flavour, you can soak the rinsed capers in a small bowl of fresh water for 10–15 minutes to further reduce the salinity. Always taste your dish before adding additional salt, as these capers provide a significant “bold, zesty bite” on their own.

The Ultimate Puttanesca: Roughly chop the rinsed capers and add them to a tomato sauce with olives and garlic. Preserving them in salt rather than vinegar allows their “intense briny-floral character” to harmonise with the tomatoes without adding unwanted acidity.

Seafood Garnish: These are a classic partner for Grilled Fish or smoked salmon. Scatter them over the fish along with a drizzle of EVO Limone BIO and fresh dill. Their firm texture provides a satisfying “pop” of flavour.

Salsa Verde: Blend the capers with flat-leaf parsley, garlic, anchovies, and EVO Amauri to create a punchy green sauce for boiled meats, roasted vegetables, or grilled steak.

Salad Seasoning: Toss whole capers into a Potato Salad or a Mediterranean tuna salad. They act as “flavour bombs” that cut through the creaminess of the potatoes or the richness of the Callipo Tuna.
