Retail Product of the Month
 Caperberries
8.8 oz for $6 32 oz. for $32  Caperberries are a distinctive ingredient in Sicilian and southern Italian cooking, used in salads, pizzas, meat dishes and pasta sauces. Examples of uses in Italian cuisine are chicken piccata and salsa puttanesca. They are also often served with cold smoked salmon or cured salmon dishes (especially lox and cream cheese). Caperberries can also be substituted for olives to garnish a martini!
