A dip in the Sicilian tradition

The caponata owes its name to an ancient preparation with the Capone fish (Lampuga), then cheap and widespread, which the less wealthy cooked together with fried vegetables and kept in sweet and sour. Over time, the fish has disappeared from the recipe, leaving space for vegetables, always immersed in the typical sweet-agro sauce that enhances its flavors and guarantees its natural conservation.

The real caponata stands out for the care in the preparation: each ingredient is fried separately in sunflower oil to preserve its authentic taste, therefore mixed with a sweet and sour sauce, in perfect balance between sugar and wine vinegar. The oil, a fundamental element, is chosen with particular attention to guarantee perfume and quality, so much so that it is enough to open the jar to perceive its freshness immediately.
