Why are Salina’s Capers the Best?

In the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Salina, a part of the Aeolian Islands, paints a picture of caper bushes flowering in profusion. Salina capers have claimed their spot as the world’s best, winning hearts with their size, aroma, and unmistakable tanginess.

The Unique Terroir of Salina

The secret to the distinctive taste of Salina capers lies in its fertile volcanic soil and the Mediterranean climate. The salty sea air and ample sunshine provide the perfect conditions for capers to grow, developing their unmatched flavor.

Artviva’s Exclusive Capers Picking Tour on Salina Island

At Artviva, we love to provide our clients with extraordinary Italian experiences. To that end, we visited Salina, where we had the pleasure of engaging with local caper farmers and participating in an enlightening caper picking demonstration. This entire adventure is documented in this exciting video link.

A Morning in the Life of a Caper Picker

Witness the art of caper picking firsthand. It’s a process that calls for a delicate hand and an observant eye, picking each caper bud before it blossoms into a flower – truly an experience that captures the essence of Italy’s culinary tradition.

Understanding the Art of Preserving Capers

Once picked, capers undergo a preservation process, either dry-salted or pickled. This step is crucial to enhance their tangy flavor, making them a perfect ingredient for a variety of Italian delicacies.
