For the connoisseur or the gourmet chef. Capers are the buds of a wild shrub that flourishes in the crevices and cracks of walls along the Mediterranean coasts of Spain. A certain amount of select capers are dried and loosely packed in coarse sea salt. Many cooks prefer them in this form, because the capers are closest to their original flavor, instead of marinating in brine.

To use them, select only as many capers as you want, put them in a strainer and run them under tap water to rinse off the salt crystals. The resulting rinsed capers are a little firmer than you may be used to, and do not add unanticipated salt to your recipe since they have not been absorbing brine. This exceptional item comes in a 35-ounce clear shatterproof jar that contains considerably more than the regular brine pack. Even when the jar has been opened the capers can be stored for months in the refrigerator -- just spoon out as many as you need each time.
