Capers in Brine – Mediterranean Aroma, Distinct Flavor & Natural Preservation

Product Overview

Capers (Capparis spinosa) are small flower buds native to the Mediterranean, cherished for their unique tangy flavor and floral aroma. Preserved naturally in brine, they add a bright, savory note to countless dishes — from sauces and salads to seafood and gourmet spreads. Their sharp, piquant taste and subtle saltiness make them an indispensable ingredient in Mediterranean, Italian, and French cuisines.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Capers in Brine, carefully harvested from Aegean and Southern Anatolian regions of Turkey where the caper plant thrives in sun-drenched soils. Each bud is hand-picked at precise maturity, sorted by size, and preserved in balanced salt solutions to maintain firmness, flavor, and aroma. Offered in multiple grades and packaging formats, our capers meet the highest standards for retail, HoReCa, and industrial supply.
