For centuries, the caper bush (Capparis spinosa) has thrived where few plants can survive — the rocky, sun-baked hills of the Mediterranean. Its roots hold not only the soil but also the spirit of sustainability.
A plant that needs little
Caper bushes are drought-tolerant and undemanding, flourishing on poor, stony ground with minimal water and no need for rich soil or heavy inputs. They even help stabilise eroding hillsides and stone walls.
Handpicked, by people
Capers are still harvested by hand, bud by bud — supporting rural Mediterranean livelihoods and a craft passed down through generations. We support our suppliers in working in harmony with local flora and fauna.
Low-waste by nature
Cured in natural brine, capers keep for years without refrigeration — no cold chain, minimal waste, and a long shelf life. Read more about our sustainability principles.
