Salted Capers by La Nicchia from Pantelleria, Sicilia

Forget all those briney jars sporting "NONPAREIL" on their labels. This is the real deal. From that hot volcanic rock off the coast of Sicily, Pantalleria, these are capers to provoke a caper of your own. I found them in Italy. Five stars for Pantalleria capers which go with caviar.

These are the most intensely flavored buds in the business. I use these salted capers in sauces including a lemon caper butter sauce for my veal. Using only the salt that clings to them, the sauce is stunning and different from sauce using other caper brands that are not Pantalleria or are stored in brine. Brine is the withering enemy; and additives other than salt distort the flavor. For most dishes, you will rinse away the salt, or save it, because whatever you made is already salted. But beware, you kill capers if you cook them. Just add the capers after you turn the heat off. The heat from a warm pan is plenty.

I'll admit, these are more expensive. You can get good capers in salt from elsewhere including some nice Spanish ones. I will use those more often. But for special service, I reach for these. Nice to have them available here.

But I think I like the ones in brine better. These were really salty even when I washed them twice. Won't buy again probably.

I use capers a lot and was looking for small salted capers for those dishes where the caper must be presented whole. These fit the bill perfectly providing perfect taste and size. Four stars only because of cost being a tad higher than need be.
