The caper tree, one of the oldest cultivated plants in the Mediterranean basin, is widely distributed in southern Italy. We not only eat the fruit, the capers, but also and especially the buds, called capers. The best capers come from the volcanic island of Pantelleria in southern Sicily.
Capers are the buds of the caper tree, a shrub present all around the Mediterranean. They are preserved in salt or in oil. Rarely used in Nordic gastronomy, capers are omnipresent in the culinary traditions of all Mediterranean countries.
