Product Description
Caper flower buds grow quickly, and they are small enough to be classified this size for only a very short time. That fabulously vibrant, piquant flavor comes from the curing process. There is no better condiment for smoked or cured salmon. Their salty, aromatic flavor makes them an important ingredient to sauces like tartar, ravigote and rèmoulade and most tapenade recipes. A freshly picked caper is a bland little thing. Capers are the flower buds from this plant. They are vibrant, aromatic with just the right balance of salt. These brined capers are perfect for use with rich foods such as salmon or in rich sauces. Their flavor, when cured in brine, tends to be reminiscent of a cornichon or gherkin. The most prized capers are the tiny non-pareil, "without peer" because of their intense flavor. The caper bush is a spiny, straggling vine-like shrub that grows well in nutrient poor, gravelly soils, and is often found growing in crevices between rocks. The result is a deep aromatic, salty flavor with a hint of a tang on the finish. Most capers are packed in vinegar, and this imparts a pickled flavor to them - as a result, the tangy finish tends to dominate the flavor of the aromatic caper. Capers, the flower bud of a Mediterranean shrub are a very versatile ingredient, condiment, flavor, and tradition. Mustapha cures his capers in salt brine, and then packs them in saltwater with just a tiny amount of vinegar. Varieties are selected for flavor and for the roundness and firmness of the buds.
