Sicilian Capers in Wine Vinegar from Caravaglio

sofi™ New Product Winner, Pickles & Olives Category

Salina capers—grown on the island off the coast of Sicily—are known for their intense aroma, tight shape, delicate crunch. These prized buds are hand-harvested & preserved in a brine of wine vinegar, water, and salt. Spoon these briny, tangy capers straight from the jar over seafood, meat, veggies.

Organic Orange Slices in Syrup from Marchesi di San Giuliano

sofi™ Silver Award Winner, Fruits & Vegetables Category

Estate-grown organic Sicilian oranges are hand-cut into thick slices then gently caramelized in simple syrup until shiny and tender. The slices are preserved in a dense reduction of orange juice, simple syrup, and organic brandy. A decorative, delicious ingredient for cakes, desserts, and even cocktails!
