Variations on a Theme: The Bud of the Capparis spinosa, Two Ways. One of our newer offerings, Tears of Caperberries, and our tiniest, Lilliput Capers, together in one tangy bundle.
Our Lilliput capers are tiny, tangy, and a top-notch topping for salads, pastas, and of course, bagels and lox. They pack a concentrated punch of flavor that belies their diminutive size.
These are the un-ripened flower buds of the Capparis spinosa bush that grows wild across the Mediterranean, picked and preserved in a wine vinegar brine.
Left to ripen? They become our newish addition, Tears of Caperberries.
Little, green, different. Tears of tangy delight, our Tears of Caperberries will bring a potent zest and delightful crunch to any snacking situation. Perfection alongside a mild cheese, crackers, and of course, tinned seafood.

"Good but I would prefer less brine similar to the olives Donostia sells."
"I am not a great fan of caperberries, but my late husband loved them. So, when they came up on Donistia foods, I had to try them again. These are really good. Sorry he didn’t get to try these! Much better chilled!. Yum"
"Excellent on a salad and with chicken picot’s. Next, will try them in a martini! Fantastic customer service, too."
"I love capers, and occasionally buy caperberries. These caperberries are superior to any others I have purchased - firm texture and great flavor. Would make a nice addition to a salad or appetizer plate as a garnish."
"The pictures do not accurately reflect the truly miniscule size of the capers that I have received. This is not a problem though. Their tiny size allows them to wonderfully distribute across a prepared tapa or through a dish without needing to chop. Capers often taste of little more than salt, but these are delicate, lightly tangy from the wine vinegar and would not need to be rinsed as some capers often do. These feel like a very special version of a commonplace staple."
"I have not even tasted the Tears of Caperberries but am sure it will be delightful. Cannot wait for my jar to arrive and have them with a bagel and lox!!! Keep the fabulous stuff coming!!!"
"Lilliput Capers are a peppery delicious addition to anything your mind can think of! From omelette’s to pasta or any meat dish or salad. It is a versatile spice like unripe flower bud of the Capparis spinosa plant. It gives any dish a distinctive flavor and takes it to another level! And these Lilliput Capers are unlike any you can find in your normal grocery store. They are this gourmet cook’s delight!!!"
"Great taste. And small I no longer have to chop them for recipes."
"Slapped together some roasted Lilliput capers with orzo and ground pork sausage in an olive oil, garlic and lemon sauce. . . so simple yet complex!"
