Pantelleria capers + Sicilian almonds. Pesto, but Sicilian.

Hand-harvested capers stone-blended with whole Sicilian almonds. Nutty, briny, herbaceous, somewhere between a classic pesto and a tapenade.

The almonds add body and gentle sweetness; the capers bring salt and brightness. Together they make a sauce that is loud enough to be the star of a simple plate yet balanced enough to layer with anything.

Pantelleria DOP capers. Hand-picked on the volcanic island by Bonomo & Giglio (Capperificio dal 1949), the historic producer behind the Etimo brand.

Sicilian almonds. Whole, sun-ripened, ground into the sauce for richness and texture.
