Scarpone’s Lupini in Brine

Posted on May 1, 2019November 20, 2019

Scarpone’s Lupini in Brine are delicious as a snack or on your antipasti platter. Sometimes we eat them right out of the jar and sometimes we like to mix them with olives and put them out to snack on.

Scarpone’s Lupini

High in protein and fiber, they are also packed with antioxidants.

To eat them, take a lupini bean in your fingers and bite part way through the top part of the bean (where the little white part is) to break open the skin, but don’t bite the bean inside.

Scarpone’s Caperberries in Vinegar

Posted on April 10, 2019May 23, 2019

Caperberries are the immature fruit of the Caper bush.

Typically the Caper bush’s unopened flower buds are harvested before they bloom, and sold as Capers.

If the buds are allowed to blossom, and produce fruit, Caperberries are the very young, immature fruit that is produced.

Caperberries are about the size of a very small grape. They have pale olive-coloured skin only about 1 mm thick, with faint white stripes. They are white inside, with tiny, crunchy seeds that are very flavourful. After pickling, they will have the same firmness as green olives.

Scarpone’s Caperberries in Vinegar

They are cured in brine, then pickled in vinegar. Their flavour is milder than capers, but they do acquire a salty, tangy taste from the processing.

Serve our Scarpone’s Caperberries as you would olives, or use in cocktails.

Call our sales team to discuss the two sizes available (small and large) and for more information.
