Capers are typical of the Salento landscape and of the country
tradition. During all the ‘900 whole families got up very early
in the morning and went to the countryside to pick the capers
up, one by one, from the low and bushy plants. In the ’70
the town of Racale was a leader in the production of capers.

Unfortunately not many peasants bring now capers to our
farm because, the most prefer to keep them for themselves.
When capers arrive to our factory, they are washed, removed
from their petiole and preserved with salt for 3-4 months.
After that, we drain the water in excess and we add dried
sea-salt coming from the Salinas of Margherita di Savoia,
then capers are bottled natural, as they are. Recently we
have planted fields of new caper-plants in our area, and have
started to promote the importance of “the caper” not only in
our nation but also in foreign countries. This project can maybe
give a favourable incentive to fight the present state of crisis
of our territory.
The “caper of Racale” is a smell-full and unique berry. It can
be added to green-salads or potato-salads, stewed meat with
white wine or to pasta after the pizzaiola manner. We also
use them to prepare the “pittule” ( savory fritters: a specialty
of Salento), delicious with pieces of tomatoes, capers and
anchovies.
The best tuna of the Mediterranean sea and the typical
capers of Racale are plunged in this flavored fresh
tomato sauce and the result is exceptional. A unique and
unrepeatable taste keep together all the flavors of our
South.
What a combination! Olive leccine and capers are a great combination for our savory and irresistible taralli.

A classic protagonist of the Apulian table is the artichoke, which is traditionally harvested in March - April and which never fails on local tables. With this product we have thought of respecting its flavor and integrity, limiting ourselves to collecting it, peeling it and putting it into wedges for you in a very simple and delicate brine. A product that will win you over with its simplicity.
These olives are typical of our area and are picked between
October and November through hand-harvesting. Farmers
bring the olives in our farm where they are washed, selected
according to the size and put into water and salt for about
6 months in order to neutralize their bitter taste.
