Capers from Salina Virgona - Large
Winners of the Top Italian Food 2024, 2025 and 2026 by Gambero Rosso and recognized as a Slow Food Presidium, the Salina capers from Azienda Agricola Virgona are hand-picked between May and July, selecting the firmest buds of the tondina variety. After being laid on jute cloths, they are salted raw with coarse sea salt according to a traditional method that enhances their compactness and marine aroma. With their intense and authentic notes, they bring the gastronomic excellence of Sicily to the table. The large capers, the biggest and meatiest buds, are perfect for oil preservation, marinades, and gourmet dishes where they become undisputed protagonists.
The Virgona Farm promotes the winemaking tradition of Salina and, in addition to wine, is specialized in the processing of capers and typical preserves. The family management guarantees genuine, natural and high quality products, respecting the tradition of the island.
