Una Pizza Napoletana Really Special. We are in full season regarding "Capers"And the" fruits of the caper ". My house is located in the heart of an old castle is literally overrun with caper plants that grow wild on the old retaining wall surrounding the village.
Capers at will and in all ways.
We all know the capers, the buds are not yet open, but only few know about the fruit of the caper. If you do not collect the bud, the flower will turn into fruit, or the "Cucuncio" as it is called by my Sicilian colleagues and Pantelleria, Italian production of large area.
Flowers and fruits are traditionally preserved in salt. The preparation of the capers must be carried out by collecting the buds, They are left to dry in the sun for a few days then put in jars in salt. The fruits of the caper are processed exactly the same way.
When ready are stored in an acetic solution (water and vinegar 50%).

Today, along with Jerome who came to visit us from Portugal to attend one of our professional courses of pizza at our school, we have prepared a Neapolitan pizza with tomato, mozzarella, anchovies and we have seen fit to replace the classic capers with the delicious fruits of the caper.
The result has been outstanding, a very appropriate pizza to be served in slices as an aperitif, or in the traditional way, that is served fresh from the oven in place of meal.
