Transform your Mediterranean and European dishes with Krinos Capers, the authentic brined flower buds that bring a burst of tangy, salty flavor to countless culinary creations. These small green gems are harvested from the caper bush and carefully preserved in brine to maintain their distinctive sharp, lemony taste and firm texture. Krinos, a trusted name in Mediterranean specialty foods for over a century, ensures these capers meet the highest standards of quality and authenticity that home cooks and professional chefs demand.
Capers are essential ingredients in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italian, Greek, and French cooking. Their unique flavor profile combines saltiness with a bright, acidic punch that cuts through rich dishes and enhances lighter fare. Use Krinos capers to create classic chicken piccata, where they provide the perfect counterpoint to buttery lemon sauce, or fold them into pasta puttanesca for an authentic Italian experience. They're also indispensable in tartar sauce, Caesar salad dressing, and traditional Greek dishes like fish plaki.
These versatile condiments shine when paired with salmon, tuna, or other fish dishes, and they add complexity to egg salads, potato salads, and antipasto platters. For best results, rinse capers briefly before using if you prefer a milder flavor, or use them straight from the jar for maximum impact. Store opened jars in the refrigerator where they'll maintain their quality for months. Whether you're preparing a sophisticated dinner party menu or elevating everyday meals, Krinos capers deliver the authentic Mediterranean taste that makes ordinary dishes extraordinary.
