Tasting Notes from the Curator

Serpis Surfine Capers are a gastronomic gem from the sun-drenched landscapes of Spain. These diminutive buds, no larger than a pea, are handpicked from the Capparis spinosa before they can bloom into flowers. Once plucked, they are submerged in a vinegar brine, which imparts a complex profile of flavors that is undeniably unique. Enveloping the essence of the sea, Serpis capers unveil a briny scent, reminiscent of gentle Mediterranean breezes over coastal groves. Their taste is a tapestry of savory undertones, with a palpable salty-lemon zest that dances on the tongue. It is this marriage of sour acidity and a hint of umami that makes them indispensable in the gourmet pantry. On the palate, these capers reveal an olive-like nuance, akin to the tanginess of a freshly picked green olive but with a distinctive sour punch. And yet, despite their robust flavor, they possess a delicate firmness, embodying quality with each bite. Culinary uses abound, but it is within the context of their birthplace, the warm, arid Mediterranean Basin, that these capers truly shine. Their size speaks not of inadequacy but of privilege; the smaller the caper, the more premium its stature, promising refined texture and optimized flavor in every culinary application.

Pairings & Suggestions

  • Enjoy Serpis Surfine Capers as a piquant addition to your salads, enhancing greens with bursts of flavor.
  • They shine when scattered over smoked salmon, offering a briny counterpoint to the fish’s rich, silky texture.
  • Elevate your pasta dishes, particularly the classic Pasta Puttanesca, with their salty-lemony profile.
  • Meats and poultry benefit from the umami depth Serpis Capers add, especially in reductions and sauces.
  • Include them in your homemade tapenades or dressings, where they bring a uniquely Mediterranian twist.

    A Mediterranean Heritage

The Serpis brand is deeply entwined with Spain’s Mediterranean Basin, a region where the Capparis spinosa plant thrives amid the stoney soils and arid climate—conditions that challenge yet benefit caper cultivation. The painstaking process of hand-picking these tiny buds speaks volumes about the care put into every jar of Serpis Surfine Capers. Each one is a testament to centuries-old culinary traditions and a vibrant culture that values flavor, quality, and the joy of eating. Culturally, capers have been entwined with Mediterranean food for millennia, celebrated from ancient Rome to today’s haute cuisine. Share a spoonful of Serpis Surfine Capers, and you share a part of gastronomic history, rooted in a deep love for the land and the flavorful fruits it bears.

Storage Instructions

Unopened jars of Serpis Surfine Capers should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once the seal is broken, ensure that the capers remain submerged in their brine, and store the jar within the comforting chill of a refrigerator to maintain their distinctive flavor and freshness.
