Horse Capers (12+ mm): The Boldest Flavor of the Mediterranean

Horse Capers, measuring 12 mm and above, are the largest and most powerful expression of the caper family.They carry a deeply briny, tangy, and complex flavor, ideal for chefs who seek a striking ingredient that defines a dish rather than complements it.

At BestCapers.com, each Horse Caper is carefully selected for size, cured slowly in natural sea salt, and packed under the strictest hygiene and quality standards.The result: a caper that embodies Mediterranean strength, depth, and authenticity.

Origin and Selection

Our Horse Capers come from long-established caper-growing regions of Turkey, Morocco, and southern Italy, where traditional cultivation and sun-drying methods enhance their bold aroma.Only the finest, uniformly sized buds are hand-sorted and preserved in brine for months — allowing the flavor to mature naturally.

Processing and packaging are performed in HACCP, FSSC 22000, and ISO 22000-certified facilities, ensuring full compliance with international export standards.

Culinary Applications of Horse Capers

The large size and intense flavor of Horse Capers make them ideal for bold, expressive dishes:

• Gourmet meat sauces, stews, and ragouts

• Grilled lamb, beef, or poultry marinades

• Artisan salads and pickled blends

• Mediterranean pizzas, focaccias, and flatbreads

• Signature plating for high-end restaurants

Chef’s Insight:

Horse Capers are best used sparingly — a few buds can transform an entire dish. Their meaty texture makes them perfect for dishes that need structure and depth.
