Roland Nonpareille Capers, 16 oz

Roland Nonpareille Capers are the smallest of the commercially used capers. They are green/gray. The caper is the flower bud of a low growing vine found in Mediterranean countries. It is cured in brine and packed in vinegar. Capers are now being used in a wide variety of dishes, from the traditional Greek, Spanish and Italian cuisines to more American dishes such as meatloaf or tuna fish salads.

Capers Berries

The caperberry looks like a mini watermelon. It is the flower of "Capparis Spinosa", a Mediterranean shrub, cultivated for its buds. These crunchy and mildly caperberries are preserved in water, vinegar, and salt and have a much less intense flavor than a regular caper. Recommended for use in salads, antipasto, or tapas.

Capers in Sea Salt

For the connoisseur or the gourmet chef. Select capers are dried and loosely packed in coarse sea salt. Many cooks prefer them in this form, because the capers are closest to their original flavor, instead of marinating in brine.

Moroccan Non-Pareil Capers - 3 Jars

Capers, the flower bud of a Mediterranean shrub are a very versatile ingredient, condiment, flavor, and tradition. Their flavor, when cured in brine, tends to be reminiscent of a cornichon or gherkin. They are vibrant, aromatic with just the right balance of salt. The most prized capers are the tiny non-pareil, "without peer" because of their intense flavor. Caper flower buds grow quickly, and they are small enough to be classified this size for only a very short time. Varieties are selected for flavor and for the roundness and firmness of the buds. Most capers are packed in vinegar, and this imparts a pickled flavor to them - as a result, the tangy finish tends to dominate the flavor of the aromatic caper. Mustapha cures his capers in salt brine, and then packs them in saltwater with just a tiny amount of vinegar. The result is a deep aromatic, salty flavor with a hint of a tang on the finish. These brined capers are perfect for use with rich foods such as salmon or in rich sauces. The caper bush is a spiny, straggling vine-like shrub that grows well in nutrient poor, gravelly soils, and is often found growing in crevices between rocks. Capers are the flower buds from this plant. A freshly picked caper is a bland little thing. That fabulously vibrant, piquant flavor comes from the curing process. Their salty, aromatic flavor makes them an important ingredient to sauces like tartar, ravigote and rèmoulade and most tapenade recipes. There is no better condiment for smoked or cured salmon.

A.R. Capers are salted because although it absorbs water on the outside, it maintains moisture, freshness and flavor on the inside of the skin without permeating the fruit with saltiness. Salted capers should be washed of their salt, or soaked to desalt.

Capers are the pickled, unopened buds of the caper bush, a Morocco native grown in dry and rocky areas. Harvested at their prime, the buds are then sun-dried and pickled in a vinegar brine. They can be used as a seasoning or condiment and give a distinctive lightly sour flavor to gravy.
