Territory and Artisanal Processing

Our salted capers are the result of a long agricultural tradition in the Puglia region, known for its rich biodiversity and ideal climate for cultivating high-quality products. Every stage of production is carried out with attention to detail, aiming to preserve the authentic taste of the capers.

The Salted Capers Production Process

Cultivation and Harvesting

The capers are carefully grown on our land between Carovigno and Ostuni, where the Mediterranean climate promotes the growth of these exquisite edible flowers. During the harvest season, the capers are hand-selected one by one to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

Salting and Preservation

After harvesting, the capers are treated with natural sea salt, a traditional method that enhances their intense and distinctive flavor. This natural salting process not only preserves the organoleptic properties of the capers but also makes them perfect for long-term storage without the use of artificial preservatives.
