Capperi sotto sale

The Capperi sotto sale taste intense, slightly bitter, and herb-spicy. The salt-cured capers from Italy preserve the full aroma of the bud because they are pickled in coarse sea salt. Capers in vinegar or brine do not reach this depth.

The small buds are particularly flavor-intensive. They set targeted accents and do not dominate a dish. The salt serves as a preservative here; it is one of the oldest methods of Mediterranean cuisine.

Important before using: Rinse the Capperi sotto sale thoroughly, at least 20 minutes, preferably longer. This way, you wash off the salt crust, and the aroma is preserved.

The Capperi sotto sale pair well with classic dishes of Italian and German cuisine. In vitello tonnato, they provide the herbal spice against the creamy sauce. In tartare, they provide a salty-bitter accent.

In Königsberger Klopse, they traditionally belong together with anchovies. They also make a strong impression on bruschetta and in pasta puttanesca. Over grilled fish, they give the dish spice and bite.

As a delicacy from the antipasti category, the Capperi sotto sale are suitable for the appetizer platter and for home cooking. They are a pantry joy all year round because they remain well-preserved in salt.
