Kolophon baby capers have received a gold medal
Ever experienced a “food moment”... of unexpected pleasure? Long before we became caper growers, I discovered a pasta dish - Linguini with smoked salmon, peas and vodka that listed capers as a minor ingredient. I made them a major ingredient - by just using more!
The only capers available were imported, preserved in vinegar or brine, and while I liked them, Barry did not. As we began to process our own capers in 2007, using a “dry salt” method, the amazing “true” caper flavour of an eminently more exciting product became apparent, right on our back doorstep! Imagine....
a handful of lightly- rinsed, Kolophon capers pickled
in Murray River salt, sprinkled liberally over pasta tossed in
creamy, garlicky sauce, chunks of diced smoked salmon, garden peas and a dash of vodka to stimulate the taste buds....
(some moments later)
In what can only be described as an explosion of flavours,
a sensory “hit” accompanied by a seismic shift in perception gives way to salty, floral, and fermented mustard notes.
We are hooked, there and then ...
KOLOPHON capers are grown sustainably in the RIVERLAND... clean and fresh, with real caper flavour.
Our caper patch is located 10 kms west of Berri in South Australia’s largest fruit-growing region.
