Eggplant Caponata is a simple and traditional recipe with an intense and full-bodied flavor which for us has the flavor of celebration. It has the typical red color due to the addition of tomato sauce. The sweet and sour flavour, characteristic of Sicilian caponata, is well balanced. The recipe includes, in addition to the tomato, the addition of carrots, green olives, capers, celery, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, basil and oregano. That is, all the ingredients of the typical Sicilian caponata.

The aubergine has many organoleptic properties that the typical Sicilian recipe, caponata, tends to enhance. Respecting tradition and the quality of the raw material, we fry our aubergines only in Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, cooked in a low pressure pan to preserve the characteristics and natural aromas of the product.

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and processing techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.
