Capers in Salt
Perello Capers in Salt are small, intensely flavoured caper buds preserved in rock salt to retain their sharp, savoury character. These non-pareil capers, the smallest and most delicate grade, are prized for their firm texture and clean, punchy taste, offering a balance of saltiness and gentle acidity.
Harvested from the unopened flower buds of the caper bush, they are traditionally sun-dried before being packed in salt, a method that concentrates their flavour and preserves their natural qualities. Before use, they are typically rinsed to remove excess salt, revealing a bright, tangy ingredient that lifts a wide range of dishes.
A staple in Mediterranean cooking, these salted capers bring depth and contrast to both simple and more layered recipes. Whether stirred into sauces, scattered over salads or paired with fish, they offer a straightforward way to add a sharp, savoury edge.

Why are capers preserved in salt rather than brine?
Salt preservation keeps the flavour more concentrated and less diluted, allowing the capers to retain a firmer texture and more pronounced taste.
What does “non-pareil” mean for capers?
It refers to the smallest size of capers, which are considered the most delicate and refined in flavour.
How should salted capers be prepared before use?
They should be rinsed under cold water, and if needed, briefly soaked to reduce the saltiness before adding to dishes.
