Caravaglio Sicilian Capers are premium capers grown on the island of Salina, part of the Aeolian Islands off the northern coast of Sicily—an area renowned for producing some of the finest capers in the world. The volcanic soil, sea air, and climate contribute to their distinctive aromatic profile and firm texture.
These capers are hand-harvested at peak plumpness, then traditionally processed through a meticulous method. After sun-drying, they are cured under sea salt and undergo natural fermentation, followed by extended aging that allows their complex, floral flavor to fully develop. They are then carefully rinsed and preserved in a brine of wine vinegar, water, and salt.
This traditional process results in capers with exceptional depth, balancing briny intensity with a refined, slightly floral character.
