Capers in Sea Salt

Capers are the unopened flower bud of the caper plant. Pantelleria's volcanic soil is high in minerals which makes its capers very flavorful and often considered the best in the world due to their color, firm texture and delicate flavor. Use them to add a rich umami flavor to pasta dishes, fish, meat, salads and appetizers. Before using, rinse salted capers in a colander and soak in fresh water for a couple hours.
