These de-salted capers are packed in olive oil and ready to use. Pantelleria's volcanic soil is high in minerals which makes its capers very flavorful and often considered the best in the world due to their color, firm texture and delicate flavor. Kazzen was founded in 2004 by the D'Ancona brothers with the mission to develop and preserve the native capers and agriculture of their home, the beautiful Italian island of Pantelleria, in Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia.
