Product Description

The Cappero Napoletano (Neapolitan Caper) is a traditional Mediterranean plant known for its delicate flower buds and aromatic flavor. The dark green leaves are oval and leathery, while the flower buds—which are harvested and preserved—are small, round, and firm. When left to bloom, the large white to pinkish flowers feature long purple stamens, creating a striking display against the dense foliage. The buds have a tangy, slightly spicy flavor, making them perfect for culinary use in salads, pasta dishes, and sauces. The Cappero Napoletano thrives in rocky soils and coastal environments, making it ideal for warm, dry climates.
