Good evening@peterromeo60,

I assume so: Since the capers can only be kept in the fridge after opening and the caper berries can only be kept for five days, the small containers were chosen. Capers in brine, which keep almost forever, can be found in 0.5 or 1 liter containers at Italian restaurants.

Kind regards
Frederica

Thank you frederica
what you say may be true. We use the open booklets for 2 to 3 weeks. You can also find larger jars in the Coop.

Hello everyone,

We'll ask the specialists and then let you know.

Best regards,

Milena

Hi everyone,

Frederica is absolutely right with her answer :-)

You don't normally need that many capers for cooking, so we decided to sell them as a 90g unit.

Kind regards,

Milena

Hello Milena
I am the originator of the discussion about the caper packaging.
We consume quite a lot of capers per week, e.g. with salmon on toast, hence my comment about the small packaging.
Everything else, e.g. gherkins etc, is available in giant jars, but .... not capers.
I also wonder whether more environmentally friendly packaging could be chosen than glass.
I can't count the number of jars we have already disposed of as waste.

You just have to think about it.

Hello @Bodenseeknusperli

Tip: you can also insert the links Capers in brine: looks tidier .

By the way: the 200g jar has a drained weight of 120g.

Best regards
Frederica
