Horse Capers (12+ mm). The Boldest Flavor of the Mediterranean

Horse Capers, measuring 12 mm and above, represent the most powerful expression of the caper family. Deeply briny, tangy, and complex, they are ideal for chefs who want an ingredient that defines a dish rather than simply complements it.

At Inbrine by Tuna Sourcing, each Horse Caper is carefully selected for size, slowly cured in natural sea salt, and packed under strict hygiene and quality standards. The result is a caper that embodies Mediterranean strength, depth, and authenticity.

Origin and Selection

Our Horse Capers come from long-established caper-growing regions across Turkey, Morocco, and southern Italy, where traditional cultivation and sun-drying methods are preserved. Only the finest, uniformly sized buds are hand sorted and preserved in brine for months. This allows the flavor to mature naturally and develop its signature intensity.

Processing and packaging are carried out in HACCP, ISO 22000, and FSSC 22000-certified facilities to ensure complete compliance with global food safety regulations.

Culinary Applications of Horse Capers

With their large size and intense flavor profile, Horse Capers are ideal for bold Mediterranean dishes.

• Gourmet meat sauces, stews, and ragouts

• Marinades for grilled lamb, beef, or poultry

• Artisan salads and specialty pickled blends

• Mediterranean pizzas, focaccias, and flatbreads

• High end restaurant plating and signature dishes

Chef’s InsightHorse Capers are best used sparingly. A few buds can transform an entire recipe. Their meaty texture makes them perfect for dishes that require structure, presence, and depth.
