Sardinian Caper Cream – Campus

The Sardinian Caper Cream produced by Campus is the result of a deep connection with the Campidano region and artisanal expertise passed down with dedication. The main ingredient is capers cultivated in Sardinia, harvested by hand at the perfect stage of maturity to ensure maximum concentration of aromas and a firm bud structure. Once selected, the capers undergo a process designed to preserve their natural fragrance, transforming them into a spreadable cream with a fine, homogeneous texture, enriched exclusively with extra virgin olive oil.

The production process follows the high quality standards typical of the Campus philosophy, favouring gentle methods to preserve the product's organoleptic characteristics. The extra virgin olive oil is not only used as a natural preservative but also contributes actively to the flavour profile, adding roundness to the characteristic pungent and savoury notes of Sardinian capers. Visually, the cream has a deep, natural olive-green colour; on the nose, it releases an intense Mediterranean aroma, with salty and vegetal notes that immediately evoke the island's coastal landscapes. On the palate, the aromatic persistence is remarkable, with a perfect balance between acidity and the richness of the oil.

An interesting aspect of this product is the importance of the caper in Sardinian gastronomic culture, where the plant grows naturally among rocks and dry-stone walls, enduring the salty sea winds. Compared with whole capers, the cream allows the flavour to be distributed more evenly throughout culinary preparations, avoiding excessive concentrations of saltiness. In the kitchen, Sardinian Caper Cream is an extremely versatile ingredient for preparing gourmet appetisers, filling sophisticated sandwiches or creating accompanying sauces. It is ideal for finishing tuna pasta, garnishing grilled fish fillets or adding character to traditionally prepared vitello tonnato.

The Campus company, based in Decimoputzu, continues a tradition built on respect for seasonality and attention to a short supply chain. Each jar tells the story of an agricultural tradition that overcomes the challenges of dry soils to produce ingredients with a concentrated, authentic flavour. The glass packaging helps preserve the aromatic bouquet and freshness of the product until opening. Choosing this specialty means bringing to the table an ingredient capable of transforming an everyday recipe into a complex sensory experience, celebrating the identity of an ancient land through one of its most emblematic and beloved products.
