Lacrimella Capers in Vinegar Ristoris - Glass Jar 540 g (Case of 6)

Lacrimella Capers in Vinegar Ristoris: the fine caliber of Mediterranean cuisine

The Lacrimella Capers in Vinegar Ristoris are flower buds of the caper plant (Capparis spinosa), hand-picked and preserved in wine vinegar, presented in an elegant 540 g glass jar. The "Lacrimella" caliber identifies the smallest and most prized capers, with a reduced diameter (around 9-11 mm), perfect for professional catering seeking aesthetic finesse and flavor intensity in every dish. The case of 6 format is designed for restaurants, pizzerias, delicatessens and catering services that need a reliable, always ready-to-use stock.

A historic brand of the Italian preserving tradition, Ristoris selects the buds at the optimal moment of ripeness, when flavor is most concentrated and texture is firmest. Preservation in vinegar maintains the caper's characteristic pungent and slightly floral aroma, enhanced by the tangy note that makes it a versatile and immediately usable ingredient, with no need for desalting as required by salt-packed capers.

What is the Lacrimella caper

The caper is the unopened flower bud of the caper shrub, a plant typical of the coasts and dry-stone walls of the Mediterranean. The commercial classification of capers is by caliber, that is by the size of the bud: the smaller the caper, the more prized, tender and aromatic it is.

• Nonpareille and Lacrimella: the finest and most sought-after calibers, with a smaller diameter (around 7-11 mm).
• Capucines, Capotes, Fines: progressively larger calibers with a stronger flavor.
• The Lacrimella caliber by Ristoris offers the right balance between bud finesse, visual impact on the plate and concentrated aromatic intensity.

The small size makes the Lacrimella caper ideal for preparations where appearance matters as much as flavor: garnishes, tartares, carpaccios, finger food and fine-dining plating.

Preservation in vinegar: ready to use

Unlike salt-packed capers, which require soaking and desalting before use, the Lacrimella Capers in Vinegar are ready to use straight from the jar. The wine vinegar plays a double role: it preserves the product for a long time and gives the capers a lively tangy note that balances the natural bitterness of the bud.

• No desalting: simply drain and use immediately, optimizing kitchen time.
• Consistent, standardized flavor, ideal for guaranteeing continuity of taste across menus.
• The glass jar preserves aroma, color and freshness better than other materials and allows immediate visual control of the product.

Uses in the kitchen

Lacrimella capers in vinegar are a cross-cutting ingredient of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, able to give character to both hot and cold dishes. Their fine size makes them elegant even whole, with no need to chop them.

• Pasta dishes: pasta alla puttanesca, spaghetti with anchovies and capers, tomato-based sauces.
• Fish and meat: vitello tonnato, baked fish, veal scaloppine with capers, sauce for tartare and carpaccio.
• Pizza and focaccia: topping for marinara, Neapolitan and gourmet pizzas.
• Appetizers and salads: seafood salads, caponata, bruschetta, canapés and platters.
• Sauces: tartar sauce, salsa verde, aromatic vinaigrettes and dressings for raw dishes.

Just a few grams are enough to enrich a dish: their bold flavor allows moderate dosing and high yield, an economic advantage appreciated in professional catering.

Storage and handling after opening

Before opening, the product is stored at room temperature, in a cool and dry place, away from heat sources and direct light. After opening, it is important to keep the capers always covered by the preserving liquid (the vinegar) inside the jar, close it with the lid and store in the refrigerator. Under these conditions, the product retains its organoleptic characteristics for several weeks.

• Always use clean utensils to take the capers out and avoid contamination.
• Make sure the capers stay submerged in the liquid: if necessary, top up with a little wine vinegar.
• The 540 g jar and the case of 6 format allow optimal rotation of kitchen stock.
