Pantelleria caper fruits

Pantelleria “Cucunci” – The strong flavour of the island tradition

Capers fruit in sea salt

Harvested in Pantelleria in perfectly ripe bunches, the cucunci are stripped of their stalks, desalted and immersed in pure sea salt, without any additives or preservatives. This artisanal processing preserves their firm texture, bright green colour and slightly bitter flavour. Ready to use after a simple rinse, they go perfectly with fresh cheeses, crostini, fish tartare and tomato sauces, turning every recipe into a unique taste experience.
