Fratelli Contorno Aubergine Caponata – Caponatina alle Melanzane 540g
A True Taste of Sicily in Every Spoonful
If you have ever visited Sicily, you will know that caponata is not just a side dish. It is part of everyday life. Sweet, sour, rich and deeply Mediterranean. This authentic Italian Caponatina alle Melanzane by Fratelli Contorno captures that traditional Sicilian recipe in its purest form.
Made with 40% eggplant and 25% tomato, this aubergine vegetable puree is beautifully balanced. The aubergine is soft and silky, gently cooked until tender. Sweet tomatoes add brightness, while celery, olives and capers bring that unmistakable Sicilian contrast of savoury depth and delicate acidity. A touch of vinegar and sugar creates the classic agrodolce flavour that defines true caponata.
The texture is rustic yet smooth, rich with vegetables and finished with sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil for a rounded, authentic Mediterranean flavour. Naturally gluten free, it is a versatile staple for antipasti platters, bruschetta, grilled meats, or spooned over warm focaccia. Try it alongside burrata, folded into pasta, or served as a vibrant side to grilled fish.
This is traditional Sicilian cuisine made simple. Honest ingredients. Bold southern Italian character. A jar that brings sunshine to your table.
