Discovering Caperberries
Caperberries are the unique fruit of the caper bush (Capparis spinosa), different from the more familiar capers, which are the unopened buds. With a mild, slightly bitter and floral taste, caperberries are celebrated for their crunchy texture and the culinary possibilities they unlock. Unlike the potent capers, caperberries offer a more subtle palate, enhancing rather than overwhelming dishes.
The Rioverde Difference
Rioverde stands out by using wine vinegar in its pickling process, a choice that deeply influences the flavor of the caperberries. Wine vinegar contributes an aromatic acidity that enhances the inner depth of the berries instead of overpowering them, distinguishing them from other pickles that predominantly use acetic vinegar. This choice reflects a commitment to preserving and enhancing natural flavors, a true hallmark of Mediterranean preservation techniques.
