Caper is an essential nutritional ingredient, used mostly in salads and sauces.
Collecting caper can be a funny experience or even a new habit.
Caper is another essential nutritional ingredient and also a part of the island’s flora. It grows wild across Kefalonia, especially on rocky hillsides, old stone walls, and coastal cliffs where the caper plant thrives in the sun and dry soil. Locals traditionally hand-pick both the buds and the leaves.
In Kefalonian cooking, capers are often brined and added to salads, tomato-based stews, and fish dishes, giving a bright, tangy flavor. They’re also used in famous Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumber and peppers, and feta cheese, or mixed into olive oil dressings to add depth and freshness.
