Lilliput Capers - Olives Et Al
The smallest, rarest grade of caper, grown in Spain and packed in brine with extra virgin olive oil. Sharp, briny and zesty, with more flavour than their size suggests.
Capers are graded by size and the tiny lilliput (or non-pareil) grade is the most prized - firmer, more intensely flavoured and less watery than the big ones. Olives Et Al, based in Dorset, pack these in a 185g jar with a splash of extra virgin olive oil in the brine.
Use them with grilled or pan-fried fish, in buttery sauces and dressings, scattered over salads and roasted veg, or chopped into pasta, tapenade and other Mediterranean dishes.

FAQs
What are lilliput capers?
The smallest size grade of caper bud, also called non-pareil. They are picked young, so they are firmer and more concentrated in flavour than larger capers.
Do I need to rinse capers before using them?
These are in a mild brine rather than salt-packed, so a quick drain is usually enough. Rinse if you want them less salty.
What do capers go with?
Fish, especially with butter and lemon; chicken piccata; puttanesca; potato salad; and anything with smoked salmon.
