Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
The capers grown on the island of Pantelleria are interesting not only because of their characteristic and intense flavour, but also because of the unique way in which they are harvested. In Pantelleria, capers are harvested exclusively by hand, a traditional method that requires great skill and patience. This artisanal process, which does not involve the use of machinery, ensures that the capers are harvested at their optimum ripeness, thus preserving their flavour and characteristics.
Manual harvesting is an integral part of the island's agricultural culture and tradition. Capers are harvested at dawn, when the buds are still closed and before the heat of the sun affects their flavour. This laborious practice, together with Pantelleria's unique climatic conditions and volcanic soil, contribute to making the island's capers some of the most sought-after in the world.
