Santorini Caper Leaves
Santorini wild capers are notoriously tantalising, sprouting up in the most difficult to reach places. You can find them everywhere from rugged bushes to steep cliff faces and even in nooks and crannies in old brick walls. As such, harvesting and tracking them down is a true labour of love for the local ‘yiayades’. Caper leaves are hand picked in the summer months then fermented and softened in brine until they turn dark green. They add richness and mild saltiness to fish and meat dishes and can even be used to wrap whole cuts before roasting. Also lovely as an authentic Mediterranean edible garnish for pasta, dips or hummus.
