- Extras: Caperberries provide a meatier alternative, perfect for snacking or garnishes.
All are product-of-Italy certified, emphasizing sustainability and quality control that discerning shoppers demand.

How to Store and Use
Keep brine or pickled jars in a cool, dark pantry; refrigerate after opening. Salted capers store dry in their jar. Always rinse salted types to control salinity. For peak flavor, use within months of opening.
What’s the difference between capers in brine and salt?
Brine-packed capers are milder and softer, ready straight from the jar. Salted capers have a firmer texture and more intense flavor, requiring a rinse—ideal for recipes needing bold taste.
Which Fratelli D'Amico capers should I choose?
For everyday cooking, go with #9 in brine (smaller jars for beginners, larger for heavy use). Salt lovers prefer Non Pareil or #10. Try caperberries for variety.
