Capers In Salt, Spain 6/32 Oz

Capers pack big flavor in a tiny package. These little spheres are the flower buds of a prickly shrub that grows all over the Mediterranean. Most capers we see in the U.S. are packed in a vinegar brine after curing, and that acidic brine is all you taste. But capers packed in sea salt have a fresher, almost floral flavor and aroma. They keep their shape and firmness better, too. Rinse under cold running water or soak in water if you wish to reduce their salty flavor. Exalt the Mediterranean flavors in a pasta salad, use when making a sea-food pasta sauce, in fish stews as well as in any stuffing for fish or pork.
